Meet Mimzy! **Adoption Pending**

Mimzy is a brave 9-year-old Shih Tzu looking for her forever home. Mimzy's journey hasn't been easy-she was rescued from a puppy mill and was even sent to the vet for euthanasia before she was given a second chance at life. Despite everything, Mimzy is a sweet, gentle soul with a heart full of love. Due to a few teeth being removed, her adorable little tongue often sticks out, adding to her charm.
She's excited to meet new people but can be a bit shy, as she's still adjusting to the warmth and security of a real home. Mimzy will need some patience and training as she learns to trust and thrive in her new life. If you're looking for a loving companion with a resilient spirit, Mimzy would be the perfect addition to your family. With time and care, she'll blossom into the loyal, affectionate friend you've been waiting for.

💕Exciting February News💕

We're thrilled to share that, thanks to record adoption numbers and our incredible rescue partners, 122 spayed/neutered/vaccinated/loved animals have left our shelter just this month! 🐾❤️

But what exactly are rescue partners? Shelters and rescues work hand in hand with one another to save more lives than we can each do on our own. Our rescue partners help us by taking in cats when they are able, which is crucial since we are almost always over capacity. They work to get the cats adopted, and then we are able to help even more. We also work as a rescue partner and transfer in dogs from shelters that are overwhelmed as we can, ensuring we help as many animals as possible!

These furry friends are hoping to be adopted next!
🐾Pippa
🐾Gillette
🐾Toast
🐾Granola

If you're interested in welcoming a new companion into your home, visit www.wchs.org/adopt to fill out an application. 🏡✨

If you’re a rescue interested in discussing partnership, email [email protected].
