YOUR DONATIONS AT WORK!

Meet Cow, a six-month-old Great Pyrenees mix, just looking for her forever home!


This sweet girl came to us with SEVEN brothers and sisters!


As Cow had a broken leg, she was only recently made available for adoption, but this sweet pup is exuberant, intelligent, curious and most of all - adorable! You might have met her if you joined us at our event last week at TGI Fridays - she was the star of the show!


Your support helps us to care for animals like Cow, providing above-and-beyond rescue care to animals with extra medical needs.

CAN WE CRASH AT YOUR PLACE?


"Kitten Season" is around the corner, and we need your help to care for as many kittens as possible. FOSTERING KITTENS is the first step on the way to their forever homes. There is no cost to you - WSHS provides everything you need - you just add the love!

We are excited to hold our first ever "Caged for a Cause" fundraiser!


To show support of the animals, our fundraisers will stay in one of our kennels from 9am - 5pm, in solidarity with the animals in our care. Each participant's goal is to raise $2,500, which covers the average cost of caring for 5 animals in our shelter. Once they reach their goal of $2,500, every additional $25 raised will reduce their time in the kennel by 1 minute from the 5pm end time. Please consider a donation to support one of our fundraisers. 


As an added twist, our Executive Director, Carolyn Mossberger, is giving you the option to donate to 'bail her out' or 'keep her caged'. Every additional $25 donated to the "Keep Carolyn Caged" page will offset donations to the "Bail Carolyn Out Page", and increase her time in the kennel (up to 5pm max).
