🌟🐾 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!

👉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!🐱🐶✨

‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤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
Everything. She has since settled in as a very affectionate companion that enjoys long walks and the company of other dogs.🐾

🌟🐾 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.🐱🐶✨

‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Jeimy???❤

Jeimy first came to us as a stray back in October and was never reclaimed. After spending a few weeks in our care, she was adopted—but unfortunately returned a few months later when her adopter felt she was a bit too strong ...for them to handle. Luckily, Jeimy was quickly adopted during last week's Construction Sale Dog Adoption Event!

Jeimy's adopter reached out and shared these wonderful photos with us! Jeimy has certainly made herself right at 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 (Wednesday 4/15) 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.

✨🙏It's Wishlist Wednesday! 🙏✨

Our model is ❤Bear A0047453981❤ who is currently available for adoption here at WCAS!

Bear is a 6-year-old, 76-pound lovable guy who’s ready to start his next chapter. He came to us as a surrender due to a decline in his ...owner’s health—through no fault of his own.

Since arriving, Bear has shown us that age is just a number! He’s a vocal, high-energy pup who still has plenty of playful spirit. During a dog introduction with another male dog, Bear did great—once in the play yard, the two spent their time zooming around and roughhousing together. Staff also noted that Bear has excellent recall, especially when playtime starts to get a little too rowdy.

Bear is looking for a family who can match his energy, provide structure, and give him the love he deserves. He’s ready to bring fun, personality, and companionship into his forever home.
Come meet Bear during our open hours and see if he’s the perfect fit for your family. He can’t wait to meet you!

This week, we're in need of the following item(s):
✨Wet dog food
✨Hot Dogs
