‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Mushroom???❤

Mushroom came to WCAS earlier this month as a stray and was never reclaimed by an owner. Fortunately, Mushroom’s stay at the shelter was a short one! Just two weeks after arriving, Mushroom found what we know will be a ...wonderful forever home!❤️

Mushroom's adopter shared these great photos and this wonderful update with us!
🐾Mushroom is doing good. We are getting him used to our other cat Bear a little at a time. He is super sweet and cuddly, and we just love him. Super handsome 😍
Thank you so much for letting us adopt such a wonderful pet. I am attaching some new pictures of our handsome boy 🐈💕🐾

🌟🐾 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, September 30th's ...Paw-some Pick is Gerta A0061587193!

Gerta is a beautiful 3-year-old girl weighing 60 pounds who is ready to find a family of her own!

Gerta came to us as a stray and, sadly, no one came forward to reclaim her. While we may not know much about her life before arriving at WCAS, our team has enjoyed getting to know her and seeing her friendly personality come through.

During her dog introduction, Gerta was alert, curious, and friendly. She happily explored the entire yard, stopping to sniff and check out her surroundings. She was also very friendly and interactive with the other dog through the fence. Once they were brought together, Gerta made several attempts to initiate play. When the other dog wasn't quite as interested, Gerta didn't seem bothered—she simply continued exploring, happily rolling around in the grass. She remained friendly and comfortable throughout the interaction, with no concerns noted.

Gerta is now hoping to find a family who will appreciate her curious, social nature and give her the love, companionship, and stability she deserves. She may be 60 pounds of dog, but she's clearly got a pretty happy and playful spirit!

Could Gerta be your new best friend? Come meet this sweet girl and see if she's the perfect match for your family!🐱🐶✨

👉Tuesday, September 29th's ...Paw-some Pick is Blue A0061553683!

Blue is a beautiful 5-month-old pup weighing 41 pounds who is ready to find a family to grow up with!

Blue came to us as an owner surrender after her previous family shared that they could no longer afford to care for her. While that wasn't the fresh start anyone had hoped for, Blue is now looking forward to finding a family who will give her the love, stability, and care she deserves.

During her time at WCAS, Blue successfully completed a dog introduction with another dog. The two sniffed each other appropriately and then walked around the yard together on dropped leashes with no signs of aggression or discomfort. It's always great to see a young dog like Blue having positive experiences with potential canine friends!

At just 5 months old, Blue has her whole life ahead of her and so much to learn, explore, and experience. She's looking for a family who is ready for all the fun, patience, training, and love that come with raising a puppy.🐱🐶✨

‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Canelo???❤

Canelo came to WCAS as a stray in March of this year and was never reclaimed by an owner. Thankfully, this sweet guy didn’t have to wait long to find his family!
Just a couple of weeks after entering our care, Canelo ...was adopted!
We’re so happy Canelo didn’t have to spend any more time in the shelter than necessary—and even happier that he’s now exactly where he belongs. Happy tails, Canelo!❤️

Canelo's adopter shared these great photos and this wonderful update with us!
🐾This is Canelo, he was adopted back in April by my husband and I. He’s been camping and boating and even hanging out with our show horses! His favorite thing to do is go to the fire station and hang out. He’s been an amazing addition to our family and we wouldn’t have it any other way. He came home weighing 33 pounds and now he’s blossomed to 66 pounds and is very active. He has the best big brother to teach him the ropes. Canelo is the best boy and we can’t wait to celebrate his second birthday in December💕 🐾

👉Monday, September 28th's ...Paw-some Pick is Bitsy A0061545830!

Bitsy is a 4-year-old girl weighing 60 pounds who is ready to find a family to call her own. She came to Winnebago County Animal Services as a stray and, unfortunately, was never reclaimed.

Bitsy has had the opportunity to meet another dog while she’s been with us. During her intro with Marigold, Bitsy was initially calm and comfortable while Marigold showed lots of excitement from the other side of the fence. Once they were brought into the same yard, both dogs were a little stiff while taking time to sniff and check each other out. After they finished their initial introductions, Marigold was interested in playing with Bitsy. Bitsy would engage in some play but would also choose to walk away when she was ready for a break.

Bitsy seems to appreciate taking things at her own pace when meeting new canine friends. If you think this sweet girl might be the companion you’ve been looking for, come meet Bitsy during our open hours!🐱🐶✨
