‼️ DO YOU KNOW ME!?‼️

I was brought to the shelter this afternoon (10/30 @ 4 PM) after being found near the Ice Age Trail on HWY-21 between Coloma & Wautoma. I am being kept safe at the shelter, but would rather be at home!

NOTE: The best way to reach WCAS this weekend (10/30 - 11/1) will be via FB messenger as our Operations Manager is out of the office. If you are or know my owner, please contact the shelter!

One of our AMAZING volunteers, Barb Newberry! 💙🐾



Spending time with Barbara is always a true delight because her pure joy, passion and enthusiasm for the animals is infectious! I already love doing whatever I can for the fur babies and she inspires me to do more. So without further delay…. Get to know Barbara!

My name is Barbara Newberry and I am a volunteer, board member, and fundraising chair for the Waushara County Animal Shelter. When I’m not at the shelter taking care of and playing with our dogs and cats, I’m looking for different ways to raise money for the animals in our care. From starting the Cans For Critters program (collecting aluminum cans for recycling), to attending local community events, or planning our biggest fundraiser of the year, Come, Sit, Stay, & Sip-our w**e tasting fundraiser-I keep myself pretty busy in my retirement!

Since I was born I have grown up with dogs. Throughout my life I have always loved being around cats and dogs-they have provided me with so much love, joy, and companionship throughout my life. I think we all have a special cause that’s near and dear to our hearts, and mine is animal welfare. My goal is to make our dogs and cats feel safe, loved, and cared for until they find their forever homes, and that is very rewarding to me.

INSTANT BESTIES!! 🥹💙🐾

ZORRO & ALIBI had their very first playgroup together tonight, and it’s safe to say these two hit it off IMMEDIATELY!!

Alibi is SO happy to have a friend to run around and be silly with, and Zorro? Well, Zorro is our resident social butterfly who seems to make friends with just about every dog we introduce her to! She’s truly everybody’s bestie. 😜

There’s just something so heartwarming about watching two shelter dogs find friendship and have the BEST time together. These are the moments we love!! 💙

Sweet Zorro is AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, and handsome Alibi will be joining our adoptable crew SOON!! 🐾
