🌟🐾 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, May 14th's Paw-some... Pick is Princess A0060752937 !

Princess is a 5-year-old pup weighing 56 pounds who is ready to find her forever family. Princess came to us as an owner surrender due to a change in her family’s housing situation, and now she’s hoping for a second chance at a loving home.
While in our care, Princess participated in a dog intro with another female dog at the shelter. Staff noted that Princess has a lower-energy personality and preferred exploring the play yard over roughhousing. When the other dog got a little too rowdy, Princess gave appropriate corrections and continued calmly enjoying her time alongside her canine companion
Princess is looking for a family to love her forever and give her the stable, caring home she deserves. If you think Princess could be the perfect fit for your family, come meet her during our open hours and see for yourself what a wonderful companion she is.🐱🐶✨

🐾🌸 Meet Macy! 🌸🐾

Macy is a gorgeous mixed breed pup around 8 months old looking for a fresh start and a family to call her own. At just about 48 pounds, she’s the perfect medium-sized companion for adventures, cuddles, and everything in between. 💕

Macy came to ...WCAS after someone brought her into our lobby claiming she was a stray. After checking her microchip, we discovered her owner had left her here. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to reach them, and poor Macy had to spend her stray hold at the shelter.

But through it all, Macy has remained the sweetest girl. 🥺 Though still young, she has such a gentle and loving personality. She can come on a little strong when meeting other dogs at first, but after a few minutes she settles in and makes friends easily. Macy loves soaking up attention, getting pets, and strolling around sniffing the flowers. 🌼🐶

Now all this sweet girl needs is a family willing to give her the happy ending she deserves.

Beyonce is a 3-year-old sweetheart weighing in at just 7 pounds, and she’s ready to find a family to call her own!

‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Mrs. Potts (now Winnie)???❤

In February of this year, Winnie entered our care due to a change in her previous living situation. Once she became eligible for adoption, Winnie was very much hoping for a safe, stable place where she could ...truly thrive.
Winnie patiently awaited adoption — even putting in her fair share of work as our front office’s Pawffice Assistant — and after nearly three months at the shelter, she finally found her forever home this past Saturday!

Winnie's adopter reached out with an update and to share these great photos!
🐾She is doing good. She finally got the Zumiez this morning!🐾

🌟🐾 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!

👉Tuesday, May 12th'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.
Come meet Lily during our open hours and see if she’s the right fit for your home. She—and many other wonderful pets—are ready for their second chance!🐱🐶✨
