🌟🐾 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!

👉Saturday, February 7th's ...Paw-some Pick is Bono A0060054512!

Bono is a 4-year-old, 47-pound dog who came to WCAS as a stray and was never reclaimed, so his full background is unknown. What we have learned during his time here is that Bono is a friendly, energetic guy who enjoys the company of other dogs.

Bono recently completed a dog introduction that went very well. Staff noted that he was social and rambunctious in a fun, playful way, and no aggressive or concerning behaviors were observed during the interaction.

The best way to get to know Bono is to come meet him in person and see if he’s the right fit for your family. If you’re looking for an active, social companion, Bono would love the chance to meet you!💫🐶✨

‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼
⚡✨TIMES FIVE!✨⚡

❤Remember Veronica (now Winnie), Linda & Louise (now Stormy & Misty), and Razzle & Dazzle (now Peeka & Koko)???❤

We received our biggest adoption update yet! This adopter shared an incredible “happy ...tail” highlighting five WCAS alumni she’s welcomed into her home!

🐾I have adopted a total of 5 furry friends from WCAS.
Winnie (formerly Veronica) was adopted in June 2022. She is the ultimate love bug. She enjoys cuddles, kisses, and just being next to you.
Sisters Stormy and Misty (formerly Linda and Louise) were adopted in September 2024. They enjoy sun bathing and napping.
Sisters Peeka and Koko (formerly Razzle and Dazzle) were adopted in May 2025. They are the youngest and most energetic of the group. Koko loves belly rubs while Peeka prefers a good back scratch.
They are each unique in their own way but they are good together which I'm grateful for. Thank you for allowing them to be part of my family.🐾

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.

If the dog is not reclaimed, the adoption is finalized and the dog can go home as soon as they're spayed/neutered.

👉Friday, February 6th's ...Paw-some Pick is Cleopatra A0060042183!

Cleopatra is a 3-year-old, 103-lb queen who came to WCAS as a stray and was never reclaimed, so her exact background is unknown. What we do know is that she carries herself with confidence and knows how to communicate well with other dogs.
While here, Cleopatra completed a dog introduction with another dog, which went well. When the other dog initially came on a little strong, Cleopatra offered an appropriate correction. After that, both dogs settled in and interacted calmly, maintaining positive behavior for the remainder of their time together.
Cleopatra is now looking for a family to get back to and love forever. If you’re looking for a big, beautiful dog with great social skills, come meet Cleopatra during our open hours and see if she might be the perfect match for you! 🐶✨

‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Merida (now Fuzzy)???❤

Fuzzy came to us as an owner surrender in mid-January due to his owner citing that they could no longer afford to care for him. Luckily this sweet guy didn't have to wait long to get back into a loving home -... shortly after his arrival, he was adopted!

Fuzzy's adopters reached out and shared this wonderful update and these great photos!
🐾Here's an update on Merida (Fuzzy) - he's doing great he's such a cuddle bug now🐾

🎥🐾 Man was Eyewitness News’ Pet of the Week with Meteorologist Joey Marino! 🐾🎥

Meet Man! This sweet boy came to WCAS as a stray with another dog and was never claimed. While he arrived a bit underweight with a few knicks and scabs here and there, Man is now a healthy, happy ...pup—and as sweet as they come. At around 35 pounds, he’s the perfect medium size… though he’s convinced he’s a full-time lap dog. 💙

Man has done well meeting new people and other pups at WCAS and is working hard on his manners (he’s learning that not everyone needs an enthusiastic jumping hello!).

Could this affectionate, lovable guy be the one you’ve been waiting for? If you’re thinking about adopting, please visit our website and complete an adoption questionnaire:

👉Thursday, February 5th's ...Paw-some Pick is Alphonse A0055135761!

Alphonse is a 4-year-old, 60-lb pup who has had a bit of a winding journey with WCAS. He first came to us in January of 2024 as a stray and was never reclaimed. After several weeks in our care, Alphonse was adopted and headed off to what we hoped would be his forever home.
In October of 2025, Alphonse found himself back at WCAS as a stray, but he was quickly reclaimed by his adopter. Unfortunately, just a couple of months later, Alphonse returned again as a stray — and this time, no one came to take him home.
Despite the ups and downs, Alphonse remains an energetic, friendly, and people-loving dog. Staff note that once removed from his kennel, he immediately wanted to crawl right into their laps — he’s clearly craving connection and affection.
Alphonse is now ready for a fresh start and looking for a family to get back to and love forever. Come meet him during our open hours and see if he’s the perfect fit for your home!🐶✨
