🌟🐾 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 28th's ...Paw-some Pick is Payton A0060037939!

Payton is a 2-year-old, 47-lb pup who came to WCAS as a stray and was never reclaimed, so his exact background is unknown. What we do know is that Payton has been a social and friendly guy during his time here!
While at WCAS, Payton participated in a dog introduction with another dog, which went very well. The two hit it off right away and maintained positive, friendly behavior throughout their interaction.
Payton is now ready to find a family to get back to and love forever.🐶✨

‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Gizmo???❤

Gizmo came to WCAS as a stray in late-November of last year and was never reclaimed by an owner. As you can imagine, this adorable guy didn't have to wait too long to get adopted and go to a loving home - a few days into ...his stay, during his stray hold period, Gizmo was preselected by his future adopter! We prioritized his neuter surgery to align with his emancipation date; so when his owners failed to reclaim him, he was altered and Gizmo's adopter was able to take him home right away!

Gizmo's adopter reached out and shared this wonderful update and these precious photos!
🐾I am so amazed at how smart and stinking cute he is. He loves his fur siblings, which are also rescues. They play all the time. He has learned his name, sit, leave it, and when I say "uh uh" he stops. Love him so much!!🐾

👉Interested in creating your own adoption story? We have lots of amazing dogs & cats available for adoption!

🌟🐾 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, February 27th's ...Paw-some Pick is Cujo A0047468699 !

Cujo is a 5-year-old, 77-pound gentle giant who’s ready to find his next forever home.
He came to WCAS as an owner surrender due to a change in his previous family’s housing situation. From his very first moments with our team, Cujo made a great impression — staff noted how friendly he was with everyone he met.

While in our care, Cujo also participated in a dog introduction with another male dog. Staff observed that both dogs remained very relaxed throughout their time together and spent the entire introduction calmly side-by-side — a great sign of his easygoing nature.
Cujo is looking for a family where he can settle in, feel secure, and share his sweet, steady companionship. If you’re searching for a friendly, laid-back big guy to add to your home, Cujo may be your perfect match.🐶✨

👉Thursday, February 26th's ...Paw-some Pick is Xena A0047457495!

Xena is a 7-year-old, 64-pound sweetheart who is ready to find her next forever family.
She came to WCAS as an owner surrender due to a change in her previous family’s housing situation. From her very first moments with our team, Xena showed us just how friendly she is — happily greeting everyone she met with a calm and gentle demeanor.

While in our care, Xena has participated in a couple of dog introductions, and both went well! Staff noted that she is laid back and low energy. In each meeting, she and the other dog were content simply walking side-by-side and exploring the play yard together. She seems to enjoy companionship without needing to be the center of the action.
Xena is hoping to get back to what she does best — being part of a loving home. If you’re looking for a mellow, friendly companion to share your days with, Xena may be the perfect match.🐶✨
