🐾💓 MEET THE STAFF OF WPCCAS! 💓🐾

You see the freedom rides, the happy endings, and the sweet faces—but behind every single one is this crew. A whole lot of heart, a little chaos, and probably somebody asking, “When’s our next day off?” 😂🚐

Let’s meet the people who keep West Point Clay County Animal Shelter moving! 👇

💗 Jessie — Executive Director
Jessie is the glue that holds us together. Records, playgroups, transports, coordinating with rescue organizations, vaccine clinics, spay and neuter schedules, veterinary visits, community outreach, social media—you name it, she does it! She has a hand in every corner of this shelter and pours her heart into keeping us moving forward. If something is happening at WPCCAS, chances are Jessie has about 12 tabs open for it😂📋🐾!!!

📚 Brenan — Office Manager
Brenan juggles a full-time college schedule while helping care for every animal under our roof! Record keeping and health certificates are her JAM, but she also helps with veterinary visits, spay and neuter appointments, and transports. Schoolwork, shelter work, and a whole lot of paperwork—her plate stays FULL💻🐶🐱!!!

🩺 Kira — Lead Veterinary Technician
Kira does all things medical and transport! Up before the sun and often still going long after it sets, she helps make sure our animals get the care they need and are ready when their ride to a better life arrives. From getting them healthy to getting them loaded, Kira is right there making it happen💉🌅🚐!!

🔧 Morris — Facilities Manager
Morris somehow manages to hold the place—and all of us—together! Facility maintenance, van maintenance, and the never-ending list of things that need fixing: you name it, he does it. There is ALWAYS something around here, and we’re pretty sure “Hey, Morris!” is one of the most-used phrases at WPCCAS😂🛠️🚐!!

🐈 Betsy — Cat Technician & Office Assistant
Betsy keeps her cat room cared for, tidies the office, and helps keep our days flowing! Between tending to our feline residents and keeping our shared spaces in order, she helps us stay on track—even when the cats have their own agenda. Which is always😂💕🐱!!

🐱 Foster — Cat Technician
Foster balances college life with all things CAT! Keeping our feline crew fed, clean, comfortable, and cared for is a big responsibility, and Foster helps make sure they have what they need while waiting for their next chapter. College student and caretaker to tiny, demanding roommates? Quite the combination📚🐾💓!!

🐶 Mandy — Dog Technician
Mandy balances college life with all things DOG! Our pups bring plenty of mess, energy, and daily needs, and she puts in the work to keep them cared for. Studying for class while helping care for a shelter full of dogs deserves a little extra credit, if you ask us😂📚🎾!!

📞 Madison — Customer Service Representative & Fundraising Coordinator
Madison balances college life while answering our phones and emails, keeping up with bookkeeping, and planning fundraisers! From helping our community get answers to helping bring in the funds our animals depend on, she keeps plenty of plates spinning. There’s a lot happening behind that phone and computer💻📚🎉!!

🌿 Not pictured: Terrance — Groundskeeping
Terrance works alongside Morris to keep our grounds maintained! The work doesn’t stop at the shelter doors, and we’re thankful for the time and effort he puts into keeping the outside cared for, too. Teamwork keeps this place going💪🛠️!!

Different roles, a whole lot of overlapping responsibilities, and ONE shared mission: giving these animals the care, love, and opportunities they deserve🐶🐱💓!

This work is messy. It’s exhausting. It’s emotional. But this crew keeps showing up—and every happy ending has a little piece of their hard work in it.

Leave our WPCCAS crew some love below👇💓🐾!!!

Forever Friday is BACK with 48 animals headed toward their next chapter! 🥹🩷🐾

Tuesday kicked things off with 11 pups leaving with our friends at Oktibbeha County Humane Society and ASPCA, plus 6 kitties heading out that day too!! So many little lives getting their chance at something wonderful!

This morning, 4 more puppies left with OCHS and ASPCA, and today, 27 puppies are headed to New Hampshire with Motley Mutts Rescue!! 🚐💕

That’s 48 lives. 48 futures. And 48 reasons to keep showing up, even on the exhausting days. Behind every transport are people working together to make these opportunities possible, and we are so grateful for our rescue partners, staff, volunteers, and everyone who supports this mission.

Safe travels, sweet babies. We can’t wait to see what comes next for you! 🩷

🎃 Office Manager Gizmo hopping on with an important announcement! 🐾

Our vaccine clinic scheduled for Saturday, Halloween, has been POSTPONED, and the shelter will also be CLOSED that day due to very limited staffing.

We apologize for the inconvenience and will be reaching out next week with the new vaccine clinic date. Thank you for understanding! 🧡

This Support Local Sunday, we want to give a heartfelt shoutout to Mr. McNamee for his generous donation to our shelter🐾💓!!!

It means the world to us when people in our community see the work we’re doing, believe in our mission, and choose to be part of it. Behind every animal we help is a community making that care possible.

Thank you, Mr. McNamee, for supporting WPCCAS and the animals who depend on us. We are so grateful🫶!

24/10/2026

Over the last two weeks, we have seen an increase in spayed and neutered dogs coming in through animal control. Many are pit bull mixes, but not all. These aren’t starving dogs who have clearly been on their own for months. These are pets who have been abandoned by the people they depended on…

This is unacceptable. They did not deserve to be discarded.

We understand that circumstances change. People struggle, and sometimes keeping a pet becomes difficult. But before you reach that breaking point, PLEASE reach out. When donated food is available, we share it with families in our community. We offer monthly free and low-cost vaccine clinics and can help connect you with low-cost spay and neuter resources in our area. Let us try to help you keep your family together. 🩷

If you truly cannot keep your pet, there is a surrender process. Having animal control pick up your owned dog or cat is not an acceptable way to bypass that process. We cannot accept owned animals with aggression concerns. If we have explained that we cannot take your pet, abandoning them so animal control will bring them to us does not make the situation safer for anyone—especially your pet.

Our staff, our space, and our resources have limits. Those limits do not disappear when an owned animal comes through the door as a “stray.”💔

Please stop dumping your pets. Reach out. Be honest about your situation and your animal’s needs. Give us the chance to help before it becomes a crisis.

The animal you once called family still deserves to be treated like family.❤️‍🩹

Forever Friday is here, and we have SO much good to share! 🐾💓

We started with 6 pups heading out thanks to our friends at Oktibbeha County Humane Society and ASPCA! Then, our friends at The Cleveland-Bolivar County Animal Shelter of Mississippi helped get 3 kitties on transport thanks to Southern Pines Animal Shelter! Teamwork keeps these little lives moving toward their next chapters. 🐱🚐

And this morning was HUGE! Amory Humane Society Transport & Community Assistance Services transported 3 of our kiddos to Champlain Valley Canine Rescue in Vermont—including our sweet Valentina! 🥹 You helped us raise the money for her leg amputation, and now this girl is getting the fresh start she deserves. Your donations helped make this moment possible. 💕

They also transported 4 sweet cats to Mitchell Animal Hospital, PLLC in New Hampshire, including a Siamese mix with a special eye disorder AND our sweet Stanley! You may remember Stanley coming in during our vaccine clinic with a broken leg that ultimately had to be amputated. Now, this precious boy is heading toward a whole new chapter! 🥹🐈🩷 We are so grateful for partners who welcome these special babies with open arms.

To finish the week, we’re headed to New Hampshire to our dear friends at Motley Mutts Rescue with some of the BEST passengers! A massive, owner-surrendered Great Dane is going directly into his forever home, our pitty girl Punkin—who stole SO many hearts—is off to her next chapter, and so many more are getting their chance, too! 😭🐾

As of today, we have saved 2,608 animals this year…😭 Every single one is a life worth showing up for. Behind that number are your donations, our team’s hard work, our transporters’ long miles, and rescue partners who keep saying “yes.”💞

Thank you for supporting us, believing in our mission, and helping us keep going. We aren’t slowing down!!! 💓

Adoption update on Shaina, now Delta! 🥹🩷

Our sweet girl is doing so well in her new home and is absolutely adored by her new parents! Seeing our shelter babies become someone’s whole world will never get old🐾

Happy life, Delta! Thank you to her family for giving her a home full of love. 🏡💕

Small things under the microscope. A HUGE difference for our animals. 🔬🐾

We are beyond grateful to Dr. Emerson at Emerson Animal Hospital for her extremely generous donation of this microscope to WPCCAS! 🩷 This incredible gift will further advance our ability to perform exams right here in our shelter, helping us identify problems and get our animals the treatment they need sooner.

What are we looking for? Things like the hookworm eggs, roundworm eggs, and coccidia represented on the screen here. These tiny parasites can cause BIG problems:

🪱 Hookworms feed on blood and can cause severe, even life-threatening anemia, especially in young puppies.
🪱 Roundworms can cause digestive upset, poor growth, and a potbellied appearance. Heavy infections can even block the intestines.
🦠 Coccidia are microscopic intestinal parasites that can cause severe diarrhea and dehydration, especially in vulnerable puppies and kittens.

And it doesn’t stop at f***l exams! Skin scrapes to look for mange mites, skin and ear cytologies to check for yeast and bacteria, blood smears—you name it! This microscope opens the door to so much more information about what’s going on with the animals in our care. 🔬❤️‍🩹

Being able to catch these problems early means so much for animals who may already arrive weak, underweight, or struggling. Having more answers right here in our shelter helps us work with our veterinarians to give them the care and fresh start they deserve.

Dr. Emerson, thank you for continuing to show up for our shelter. Your generosity reaches far beyond this donation—it touches every little life we can better care for because of it. 🐶🐱🩷
