‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Armani (now Cash)???❤

Cash came to Winnebago County Animal Services as a stray and, sadly, was never reclaimed. After spending a little time in our care waiting for the right family, he was adopted just a few days ago.

His new ...family didn't waste any time sharing an update with us, and it's clear Cash has already settled right into his forever home! ❤️ Seeing him so relaxed, happy, and loved is exactly what we hope for every animal that leaves our shelter.

🐾 I just wanted to reach out and give a little update on this sweet baby! He is doing wonderful and after just one night with us he is already loving his big sister and his home! We did change his name to Cash and he is already picking up on his name! We are so thankful to have him become a part of our family🐾

🌟🐾 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, July 11th's ...Paw-some Pick is Papi A0054949947!

JPapi's journey has had a few unexpected twists, but he's ready to find the forever home he's been waiting for.

Papi first arrived at the shelter as a stray in December 2023. After spending some time in our care, he found a home and was adopted in February 2024. Unfortunately, Papi recently found himself back on his own and returned to us as a stray in June. Despite efforts to locate his owner, he was never reclaimed and is now available for adoption once again.

Through all of life's changes, Papi has remained a resilient and lovable dog. During his time back at the shelter, he successfully completed a dog introduction with another shelter dog. Staff noted that the two greeted one another appropriately and spent their time calmly exploring the play yard together, checking in to say hello throughout the interaction. It was a positive introduction that showcased Papi's friendly and relaxed demeanor around another dog.

Now, Papi is looking for a family that will give him the stability, love, and commitment he deserves. After experiencing both shelter life and a home environment, he's ready to settle in with people who will make him a permanent part of the family.🐱🐶✨

‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Simba (now Petey)???❤

Petey first came to Winnebago County Animal Services in August 2024 as a stray and was quickly reunited with his owner. Fast forward to April 2026, and he found himself back at the shelter as a stray once again. ...This time, sadly, no one came to reclaim him.

Thankfully, it wasn't long before Petey caught the eye of his perfect match! He was quickly adopted, and from the photos his family shared, it's safe to say he's exactly where he belongs. ❤️ Petey is clearly thriving in his forever home.

Enjoy your happily ever after, Petey!

Petey's adopter sent this wonderful update and shared these great photos with us!

🐾Hello, I'm sending an update on my adoption of Simba ( Now named Petey ). Back in the middle of April this year I wanted to adopt another dog (playmate) for Biggie, which I adopted the middle of December. Attached are some pictures where he's feeling at home.🐾

👀🚨Do you know any of these dogs?🚨👀

‼️We have over 100 dogs at our facility‼️
We've reached maximum capacity and are urgently hoping to reunite these dogs with their families.

👉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 7/10) 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.

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!

👉Friday, July 10th's Paw-some ...Pick is Nala A0060866065!

Nala came to us as a surrender after her owners shared that they had a new baby and could no longer keep her. Shortly after arriving at WCAS, Nala was adopted into what everyone hoped would be her forever home. Unfortunately, after just a few days, Nala was returned when her adopter discovered that while she got along very well with the male dog in the home, she was not a good match for their cat.

Through it all, Nala has remained the same wonderful dog she's always been and is ready to find a family to call her own. While a home with cats may not be the best fit, we know there is a perfect home out there waiting for her.🐱🐶✨
