💛🐾 EMPTY THE SHELTERS STARTS TOMORROW WITH REDUCED ADOPTION FEES THRU A LIMITED TIME! 🐾💛 at Winnebago County Animal Services! 📣

—since the 4th of July we have had almost 60 animals come into our care at a time when we were already at capacity.💔 Our shelter is ...overcrowded, which puts pets at risk. These animals deserve a second chance and a loving family ‼️🚨

Thanks to the incredible generosity of the BISSELL Pet Foundation and the compassionate heart of Cathy Bissell, we’re proud to participate in Empty the Shelters—a nationwide adoption event dedicated to giving pets the second chance they deserve.

🎉 ADOPTION FEES:
🐱 Cats $20
🐱 Kittens $50
🐶 Dogs $50
(Pre-select animals are not a part of the event)

Each pet has a story—some came in scared, others were surrendered, and many were simply lost. But all of them have one thing in common: they’re waiting for you. ❤️

Help us empty our full kennels by filling homes and hearts.
📢 Please share and spread the word—let’s find them all forever homes!

🚨 Calling all Lab lovers! 🚨
We’ve got TWO amazing black labs at WCAS who are ready to find their forever homes — and the best part? Their adoption fees are SPONSORED! 🐾🖤

👇 Meet our incredible duo:

🌟 Memphis - 7 years old
Memphis was surrendered due to... housing issues, but his former owner had nothing but love for him! He’s house-trained, did well with another dog in the home, and loves people.
Since arriving at WCAS, Memphis has quickly become a volunteer favorite thanks to his calm demeanor and affectionate nature. He’s the definition of a good boy. 💙

🌟 Molly Mae - 8 years old
Molly Mae came to us from a rough situation where she was left alone in a home with two cats in poor conditions. But you’d never know it — she’s been nothing but sweet, gentle, and resilient.
She’s gotten along well with other dogs here and is a total lovebug with people. Her hair has grown back beautifully, and she’s feeling better every day! 💗

🎉 Both of these wonderful dogs have SPONSORED ADOPTION FEES, thanks to generous supporters and our WCAS Auxiliary! 🎉
If you're looking for a loyal companion, you’ll find one (or two!) waiting here at WCAS.

📍 Stop by and meet Memphis and Molly Mae — they’re ready to love you forever.

Lost a pet? Found a pet? Thousands of people visit our website every week and it's probably no surprise that the most popular pages are the adoptable dogs and cats. We totally get it! But we hope that you'll also make browsing the lost and found pages on our site a regular habit as ...well!

Of course all stray animals coming to our facility are shown here, but residents are also able to file a lost or found report right our website, picture and everything, and that report gets published on our website. These are people who have lost their pet and are asking for help finding them. Browse these listings, which are updated throughout the day, and see if you can help!

‼🚨More Pets are Lost on 4th of July Than Any Other Time of Year🚨‼

While our country celebrates its independence, this time of year can be a frightening time for pets. The noise caused by fireworks can cause dogs and cats to go to great lengths to escape their house, fenced yard, ...or even a leash. This is why more lost pets end up in animal shelters on this holiday than any other time of the year.

👉Take a look at our website resource for suggestions on how to help you and your pet celebrate the holiday together without anxiety.
