Looking for a loyal little lapdog?

Hi, I'm Worley. I have a big name because I'm kind of a little guy and weigh about 10 pounds. I was brought here because I was found as a stray and my previous owner never came for me. So now I'm looking for a new family. I can be shy at ...times and it takes me a while to warm up to people. Sometimes younger kids make me nervous with all their moving around. But, if you give me a little time, I will warm up to you and warm up to your family. At 7 years old I have a lot of life left to live. Please come and visit me today. I need your lap and you need me to be glued to it!

🎥🐾 Nena was a good girl for her Pet of the Week segment on WIFR TV 23 this morning.🐾🎥

Nena was found as a stray in early October, but she has so much affection for people that we hoped she had someone looking for her. Unfortunately, no one came forward despite our best efforts ...to find her owner. 7 year old Nena constantly wants to snuggle and when she sees her people coming, she wags her little tail with all her might! She loves to be by your side and will lay her big adorable head on your leg or lean her whole body against you. Nena’s WCAS friends rave about her calming demeanor. This easy-going pooch is a joy to be around and can't wait to meet her family. You won't find a more loyal companion.

Check out our website www.winnebagoanimals.org for more information on how to meet Nena and adopt!

Make sure to tune into our segment with WIFR TV 23 on Mondays around 9am.

‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Gracie???❤

Gracie came to us as a stray in late-April of last year and was never reclaimed by an owner. Gracie was quickly adopted; however, after a couple of months with her adopters, she was returned due to them citing that she was ...too active. Thankfully, Gracie did not have to wait long to go home, after just a week back in our care, the perfect family visited WCAS and adopted Gracie!

Gracie's adopter shared these great photos and this wonderful update with us-
🐾Hi, my name is Melanie. My family and I adopted Gracie back in July of last year, and I just wanted to give a little update. When we adopted her, we were originally told that she was twice rendered. The second time was by an elderly couple who found her (age 1) to be too energetic. Well, since then, Gracie has made many friends who help her with all of that pent-up energy. She is truly amazing. She's smart, easy to teach, well-behaved, well mannered, and a little goofy. We constantly count ourselves lucky to have her, and everyone she meets is compliments what a great girl she is. Thank you for the wonderful addition to our family. It's only been 6 months, but it feels like she's always been a part of it.🐾

💛💛Today's pawffice assistant, Clarence, is enjoying his day of lounging around behind the desk and keeping employees company today!💛💛

This older gentleman would very much like to curl up next to you on the couch and binge a tv series! Clarence came to WCAS as a stray in ...November. Unfortunately, he was never claimed by an owner. Content to lounge around, but also with an occasional burst of playfulness, 8 years of age doesn't hold this guy back at all! He loves to be outside, and playing with toys. He is a well-natured gentleman who only wishes to live out his golden years in a forever home. Are you interested in opening up your heart and home to Clarence?

💛 8 year old Clarence is part of our Golden Whiskers squad! Pets 8 years and older at WCAS have ½ of their adoption fee sponsored by the WCAS Auxiliary!
