👀🚨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 included 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 open at 11am today (Wednesday 3/4) and are open until 5pm this evening.

👉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.

✨🙏It's Wishlist Wednesday! 🙏✨

Our model is ❤Celeste A0060159028 ❤ who is currently available for adoption here at WCAS!

Celeste is a 2-year-old, 5-pound beauty with a gentle presence and so much love to give.
She came to us as an owner surrender after her ...previous family shared they were no longer able to afford her care. While transitions like that can be hard, Celeste has handled the change with quiet grace.
Now, she’s ready for a fresh start and a forever home where she can feel safe, cherished, and adored. At just 5 pounds, she may be petite — but her heart is anything but small.
If you’re looking for a sweet companion to brighten your days, come meet Celeste!

This week, we're in need of the following item(s):
✨Kitten wet food
✨KMR kitten formula

Donations can be dropped off at our facility OR ordered & shipped to our address

🌟🐾 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!

👉Wednesday, March 4th's ...Paw-some Pick is Dharma A0060078689!

Dharma is a 2-year-old, 74-pound sweetheart who came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed, so her full story is a bit of a mystery. What isn’t a mystery, though, is her love for other dogs!
While in our care, Dharma completed a dog introduction with another pup and the two hit it off right away — breaking into playful wrestling and zooming around the play yard together. It was clear she was having a blast and enjoying the company.
Dharma is looking for a home where she can continue to stretch her legs, enjoy playtime, and build strong bonds — whether that’s with a canine sibling or her future people. If you’re looking for a fun, social dog who’s ready for her next chapter, Dharma may be your girl. 🐶✨

👉Tuesday, March 3rd's Paw-some... Pick is Reesie A0060237610!

At 3 years old and 62 pounds, Reesie has the sweetest face—and an even sweeter personality to match. She came to us as a stray and, sadly, was never reclaimed, but she hasn’t let that dull her shine one bit.

Reesie has done great with other dogs here and loves making new friends. In fact, during one play session, she grabbed another dog’s leash and tried to walk her around—clearly she’s got a playful, silly side!

If you’re looking for a friendly, fun-loving companion with a heart of gold, Reesie might just be your perfect match🐶✨

👉Monday, March 2nd's Paw-some ...Pick is Cali A0060239480!

At 1 year old and 47 pounds, Cali is a very sweet and well-mannered girl. She came to WCAS as part of a welfare case involving a mom and her puppies left on a porch in cold weather. Thankfully, her whole family was brought to safety, and Cali was surrendered due to her owner’s housing issues.

Despite her rough start, Cali has remained friendly, calm, and well-behaved. She’s done well meeting other dogs and would thrive in a loving home where she can continue to grow and share her sweet personality.🐶✨
