❤Remember Leo???❤

Leo came to WCAS in late-June of 2025 as an owner surrender due to their owner citing that they could no longer afford to care for Leo. Thankfully, just a few weeks after his arrival, Leo found the forever home he was so ...deserving!

❤Remember Meadow (now Brinley)???❤

Brinley came to WCAS as a stray in April of 2025 and was never reclaimed, but she didn’t let that dim her spirit. After patiently waiting for two and a half months, Brinley finally found the loving home she ...had been hoping for! 💛

Brinley's adopters reached out with an update and these wonderful photos!
🐾I wanted to share an adoption update. My mom adopted Meadow, now Brinley, back in July (somewhere around that time). She continues to be a sweet, gentle, laid back dog. She enjoys walks in the country, laying on the deck, and playing with my rescue girl Izzy. Sometimes she gets to go visit her mom’s work and has to supervise which is a very tiring job, but someone has to do it.🐾

🌟🐾 Paw-some Pick of the Day! 🐾🌟

We’re shining the spotlight on our pets with something special: each day, one amazing pet will be featured as our Paw-some Pick of the Day — and for that day only, their adoption fee is waived!

👉Saturday, April 18th's ...Paw-some Pick is Sanara A0052496205!

Sanara is a 5-year, 10-month-old, 52-pound sweetheart who’s ready to find lasting stability and love. She’s no stranger to WCAS—this is her third time with us since April 2022. The first two times, she arrived as a stray and was quickly reclaimed by her owner. Most recently, Sanara was surrendered due to a change in her owner’s housing situation.

Since being back in our care, Sanara has reminded us just how affectionate she is. During her initial evaluation, she climbed right into a staff member’s lap, soaking up pets and belly rubs—clearly a girl who loves attention and connection!

Sanara also participated in a dog introduction where staff noted her high energy and playful nature. She eagerly initiated play and showed that she enjoys engaging with other dogs.

Sanara is now looking for a forever home where she can finally settle in for good and share her loving, playful personality. If you’re looking for a dog who will happily be both your cuddle buddy and your playmate, Sanara might be the perfect fit.🐱🐶✨

❤Remember Brother Bear (now Bear)???❤

Bear came to WCAS as a transfer from an area rescue in late-February of this year. When he first arrived, he was a bit shy while adjusting to his new surroundings. After a couple of days in our care, though, ...Bear really started to come out of his shell. Bear patiently waited to be adopted for a little over a month, even becoming a member of our Lonely Hearts Club due to extended time with us. Thankfully, just a few days into April, he was adopted!

Bear's adopter reached out with these fantastic photos!
If you think the other dog featured in these snapshots looks familiar- you're right! That's Daphne!
Daphne was at WCAS back in 2022! Daphne's story is similar to Bear's - so happy the both ended in a wonderfully loving home!

👀🚨Do you know any of these dogs?🚨👀

We would love to reunite these dogs with their families!
Can you help us find their families? Each animal's Intake Date & Location Found is include in their photo's caption.

👉If you believe one of these dogs is ...yours, please call us at 815-319-4100 and one of our call takers can speak with you about next steps OR stop by our facility.

👉We're open today (Friday 4/17) until 5pm.

👉Some of these dogs are available for preselect adoption, which means that although the dog is still on their stray hold period and awaiting reclaim by their owner, an interested adopter is able to complete an adoption application and pay the fee to pre-select the animal for adoption. If the dog is not reclaimed, the adoption is finalized and the dog can go home as soon as they're spayed/neutered.

👉Friday, April 17th's Paw-some... Pick is Jaq A0060283442!

Jaq is a 1-year-old, 42-pound pup who’s ready for a fresh start and a forever home. He recently came into our care due to a change in his previous living situation, and now he’s looking for a safe, stable place where he can truly thrive.

Jaq is a shy guy who will benefit from a caring, patient home that allows him the time and space to come out of his shell. While in our care, he participated in a dog introduction with another dog at the shelter. Staff noted that he was initially more interested in exploring the play yard on his own, but as he grew more comfortable, he began to open up—approaching the other dog and initiating play. It was wonderful to see his personality start to shine!

Based on what we’ve seen, another confident dog in the home may be very beneficial in helping Jaq build his confidence and continue to grow.

Jaq is now looking for a family who will give him the support, understanding, and love he needs to blossom into the amazing companion we know he can be.

Come meet Jaq during our open hours and see if he’s the perfect fit for your home. He—and many other wonderful pets—can’t wait to meet you!🐱🐶✨

❤Remember Mabel???❤

Mabel came to WCAS in early July 2025 as a stray and was never reclaimed. She patiently waited just over a month before finding her forever home!

Mabel's adopters reached out with an update and this lovely ...photo!
🐾We adopted Mabel Aug 4 2025. She was very spooky for several months and afraid of just about

🌟🐾 Paw-some Pick of the Day! 🐾🌟

We’re shining the spotlight on our pets with something special: each day, one amazing pet will be featured as our Paw-some Pick of the Day — and for that day only, their adoption fee is waived!

👉Thursday, April 16th's ...Paw-some Pick is Lily A0056482173 !

Lily is a 3-year-old, 9-pound kitty with a story that’s brought her back to us—but she’s ready for a fresh start. She first came to WCAS in June of 2025 as an owner surrender and spent a couple of months in our care before being adopted.

About seven months later, Lily was returned to us after an incident that occurred while her owner was away and she was being cared for by a family member. Following the incident, Lily completed her required bite quarantine here at WCAS.

Since then, our team has spent time working with Lily and getting to know her again. We’ve seen her friendly side while back in our care, and she has been evaluated and cleared as an adoption candidate.
Lily is now looking for a patient and understanding home where she can feel comfortable and secure. With the right environment, she has the potential to be a loving and loyal companion.🐱🐶✨
