Courtesy Post: Asa needs a new home! He is a young, neutered male Pyrenees mix. Very friendly and very active and up to date on shots. He is too friendly for the current elderly neighbor and their small dog, so unfortunately Asa has to spend too much time in his pen. He is an outdoor dog. A rural home or big yard would be great for him. He will come with a dog house and an electric heater.
Please message us your phone number and we will share it with the owner to contact you. Thank you for your help!

🐾Rufus!
📣🇺🇸And the Vice President goes to...
🐾Thomas Jefferson!
Rufus is so excited to be the first-ever Shelter President that he was dancing! He is such a happy boy anyway! Thomas Jefferson was excited to represent the felines and maybe a bit "catty" with his tongue out for the photo!
We want to thank you all for coming in and voting in this election! We know there are lots of things going on right now that are stressful, so hopefully, this is something that makes you smile! 😁 How you can not look at Rufus's toothy grin and smile?!

Milan Puppies
‼️We have another URGENT REQUEST‼️
This morning, a tote was left at our front door. Inside were 6 puppies! We discovered that a citizen on a dirt road near Milan found them in a ditch on their way to work. Not knowing what to do, left them outside our door, then called to make sure we saw them. So we are positive they were dumped! They are very skinny, appear to be around 5-6 weeks old, and 4 of them have tested positive for parvo!
What that means once they test positive is that we cannot transfer them to another shelter or foster them to anyone. They are stuck in our isolation kennel and only one staff member is allowed to treat them. We have started the medication to hopefully prevent it from being severe. On top of that, they are currently on a slow-feed diet due to being emaciated. Right now, they are not showing symptoms, so we will hope that none do. That now burdens our already stretched-thin staff to care for these puppies. We have other dogs needing isolation that now cannot be in there. We have had to shift dogs around to make room for these. We had another shelter interested in them since we didn’t have room, but with parvo, we are not allowed to transfer them. We are not sure how long they were outside, but you can see how thirsty they were when they came in!
PARVO IS EASILY PREVENTABLE!!!! The DHPP shot for dogs is the easiest and most efficient way to prevent this. We often have free DHPP available from grants and partnerships. If you cannot afford it for your dog(s), please contact us and we will give you options based on what we have available at the time! We will try to help you!
We would love to have information about these puppies and we want to help the situation they came from. If you have the mother dog, it most likely has been exposed to parvo and is not up to date on shots. We are offering to fix the mom dog and get her up to date on shots for FREE!! Most of the time there are extreme circumstances why this happens and we want
UPDATE: ADOPTED! 🥰
COURTESY POUND POST: ⚠️Running out of time!⚠️ This pet was relinquished from a bad situation. We know that she is an adult, not fixed. She appears to be good with other dogs, we do not know about cats and cannot test her. She is very laid-back and SUPER SWEET! She has some hair loss due to a previous lack of flea treatment, but she is doing much better and the hair is growing back. We are full at our facility and cannot take her without your help in fostering! Call the Wellington Pound if can adopt or foster 620-326-3021.

🥰We couldn't help so many kittens without our wonderful fosters! Check out sweet little Buzzer getting cuddles from his foster brother Pepe (who is a former shelter kitty)! Pepe's mom said he's been a wonderful foster brother to Buzzer and his siblings. He's taught them many things and helped care for them when they were without their real mom. Of course, their foster mom is taking very good care of them until they are ready for adoption!
Buzzer and his siblings (Chime, Bell, and Ringer) are ready for adoption! You can fill out the adoption application to be the first to adopt! They are currently at their foster home, so fill out the application to schedule a time to meet them.

🐕National Puppy Mill Awareness Day!
Shelters receive stray and surrendered animals. They update their vaccines and obtain necessary veterinary care for each animal. Each animal is spayed/neutered so that it is not contributing to the overpopulation of pets. They also screen prospective adoptive families. Similar to breeders, they maintain their facilities. However, they retain few paid staff and rely on donations and volunteers for the bulk of their needs.
Depending on the shelter's mandate, animals live there until they are adopted. We are a no-kill shelter so the pets stay at our shelter until they are adopted. Other shelters allow a certain number of days for the animal to be adopted. Once the selected number of days pass, the shelter usually must destroy the dog. Many of the dogs in shelters come from animals bred in puppy mills for pet stores or sold online.
It's essential to know the difference and select your new fur baby responsibly. Even though you may think you're saving the animal, purchasing a dog from a puppy mill only keeps the business thriving.
