WCRAS Foster Care Program

Meet Valkyrie (2 years old), a sweet 2-year-old pup who needs a special kind of TLC right now. 💔 She’s recovering from a fractured left tibia (back left leg) and needs a calm, loving environment to heal properly.

Care Details:

Pain medication twice daily (she takes it well in food!)

Limited activity: no running, jumping, or roughhousing.

Walks should be no longer than 5 minutes for the next 6 weeks.

Valkyrie is a gentle soul who deserves comfort and care while he recovers. The shelter isn’t the right place for his healing journey, and we know there’s someone out there with the heart to give him a quiet space to rest and recover.

🏠 What Can You Do?

Open your home to one (or more!) of these sweet pups.
Even a short-term foster commitment will help tremendously.

🚨 Foster Needed for Milah 🚨

Meet Milah! This sweet but spunky girl needs a temporary foster home while she heals.

💔 Milah has had a rough time and hurt her tongue, requiring sutures in her mouth.
🥣 She’s currently on a strict soup-only diet to ensure her sutures heal properly.
🚫 She can’t use a water bucket anymore and tends to dump her water bowl, so she needs close supervision to stay hydrated.

Despite her quirks, Milah has so much love to give. A foster home, even for a short time, would be a huge help in her recovery.

If you have the time, patience, and a heart big enough to help Milah heal, please reach out. Let’s give this girl the care she deserves!

If you would like to foster, please head to the shelter! We are open every day 12-6pm.

Holiday Heroes Needed!

With over 250 amazing dogs currently in our care, we’re in urgent need of holiday fosters to give these pups a cozy home for the season. Whether it’s for a few weeks or longer, your kindness could make all the difference in their lives.

Here are 3 of our 250 pups that would love a foster home-

Meet Nana-
This sweet, loving, and goofy boy has been waiting at the shelter for his forever home for a month now. At just 3 years old, Nana has plenty of youthful energy and a big heart full of affection to share.
We’re not sure how he feels about other dogs or cats yet, but if you have a furry family member, we’d be happy to set up a meet-and-greet at the shelter.
Nana dreams of spending the holidays snuggled up in a cozy home with a family who loves him.

Meet Stuffing-
This adorable girl is just 1 year old and has been with us since 11/25, hoping to find her perfect match. While she may be selective about her canine companions, a meet-and-greet with any resident dogs is highly recommended to ensure a good fit.
Stuffing would love nothing more than to spend the holidays in a warm, loving foster home. Could you be the one to give her the cozy holiday she deserves? Come meet Stuffing and let her charm her way into your heart! 🐾🎄

Meet Valencia-
This sweet 2-year-old girl arrived at the shelter on 12/04 as a stray, so we’re still getting to know her. While her story remains a bit of a mystery, her loving personality is sure to shine through when you meet her!

Valencia is currently unaltered, but don’t worry—a surgery will be scheduled before she leaves the shelter. She’s ready to start a new chapter and would love to meet her future family. Could that be you? Come say hello to Valencia today! 🐾✨

If you are interested in meeting any of these pups, please head to the shelter! We are open every day 12-6pm.

Update- Aurora and Draco in foster. Valkyrie still needs a foster!

🌟 URGENT: Fosters Needed for Aurora, Draco and Valkyrie! 🌟

🧡 Aurora (3 years old): (now in foster)
This bubbly, treat-loving girl is feeling scared and shut down at the shelter. She desperately needs a foster to help her decompress and give her a break. Even a few days or a week can make a HUGE difference for her mental health. Aurora is playful, eager to learn, and walks beautifully on a leash. If treats are low, she happily accepts belly rubs and chest scratches instead! Volunteers adore her, and we know you will too.

💙 Draco (5 years old): (now in foster)
This sweet boy urgently needs a foster due to medical needs. Draco has been having seizures and requires medication every 8 hours, something the shelter cannot provide effectively. He was a stray for a few days, and while he has a microchip, we haven’t been able to reach his owners yet. Draco needs a safe place and loving care while we work to find a more permanent solution.

🧡 Meet Valkyrie (2 years old), a sweet 2-year-old pup who needs a special kind of TLC right now. 💔 He’s recovering from a fractured left tibia (back left leg) and needs a calm, loving environment to heal properly.

Sugarplum is now in foster care

Sugarplum: A Sweet Senior Ready for Love 🐾

This gentle soul has stolen our hearts! Sugarplum, as we’ve lovingly named her, came to us as a stray, so her past is a mystery, we have no home history or compatibilities with other animals —but her kind and calm nature speaks volumes.

We estimate she’s about 11 years old, making her a seasoned sweetheart who’s looking for a peaceful and loving place to call home. Whether you’re looking to adopt or foster, Sugarplum would love to bring some warmth and joy to your life.

She deserves a second chance to be cherished—could that be with you? 💕 A meet up with a resident dog can be held at the shelter.
