Saving as many as we can, with your help

Picture opening the door to a tiny trailer and being overpowered by the smells, sounds, and sights of 153 animals in cages. Squawking birds. Sugar gliders running loose. Dogs barking. Cats meowing. The scent of stale pee burning the eyes. And fleas jumping from the carpet as you walk.

Our team arrived at this scene yesterday, when WCHS joined multiple agencies to help 153 animals. WCHS's Dr. Cote and vet assistant/feline care manager Hayley spent all day pulling animals out of their cages, giving them shots, looking for injuries, and administering flea medication, all before loading them into vans bound for area shelters.

Sixteen dogs and two sphinx cats returned to WCHS that night.

Within hours, one of the dogs gave birth to six tiny puppies!

The next morning equated to a spa day for these stinky pups. Staff and volunteers shaved away pounds of urine and feces matted fur. Eye-goop glued some of the pups’ eyes closed. It must have felt so good to be free from the filth, because they wiggled and bounced around the tub.

Will you help them on the next step to being ready for adoption with a donation of $45 or whatever you can give today?

Caring for 24 sweet souls takes a toll on our team and our already limited resources.

Your generous donation will cover the costs of additional vaccines, flea and tick treatments, and spay and neuter surgeries. Every animal deserves a loving home. Please donate so WCHS can continue helping animals in need.

Thank you so much again.

Please note that these new animals are still be evaluated medically. We expect that some will be available this weekend, but ask that you check the website or come in person during our open adoption hours. Please do not call or email us to attempt to place holds.
