🌥️The rain drops held off for our spring cleaning this morning 🧹🪣

👏Thank you to the volunteers who helped clean and organize the dog building and north storage shed!

🐁We came across an adorable mouse family and made sure to put them back in a safe spot near their home base.

Few new faces here. Let’s help them move on to their new homes!

Mia: 2 years old. Has been in play groups with other dogs. Calm and cool in the cat building. Friendly & Attentive. She ran some very fast laps out in the yard this weekend. ⚡️

Fiora: 8-10 months. Even cuter in person 🩷 Still moves like a puppy and wants to play! She loves any and all attention and snuggles. She was well behaved in the cat building as well!

Pete: 1 year old. Medium size, ready to be your best pal. Friendly guy. He has plenty of energy so we’ve provided him lots of room to run here. He is not loving the noisy shelter environment so a foster situation would be great.

✅ Let us know if you are interested in fostering or adopting by filling out the application on our website https://watonwan.weebly.com/adoption-application1.html

Xeenie💗

Hi everybody, I’m going to tell you a little about myself. I am little! 45 # short and stout. I’m still young – zoomies!!! I love to get my zoomies on. My foster mom has a fenced in yard and sometimes I get really crazy running from one side to another and turn circles and being all crazy. I do have alot of energy and really enjoy when we go on walks so I can sniff everything. Still learning proper walking techniques and we have been practicing different commands, I think mom is making them training sessions instead of walks. I am also a couch potato, I will curl up next to you or go lay in the recliner, sometimes I sit up and watch TV especially if you have an animal show on. I enjoy chewing on things, bully sticks, bones, things that taste yummy. I am also into recycling ……. Boxes! I will help you shred them! I have a really good time tearing them into pieces then its easier for you to put them in the recycle bin! I am kennel trained and will stay in there while you are gone. Give me a kong and I will enjoy that. I am not to be trusted to roam the house while you are at work, I find things to get into. For a short time I am ok. When its time for bed don’t think you will be sleeping alone, I will be right there next to you to keep you warm. I will even let you cover me up. So now get that application in so that I can cuddle up with you and we can have a great time together for the next 10 years or so.
