Meet Zena! This sweet girl is a one-year-old lab mix with a heart full of love to give. Zena is great with most other dogs and would make the perfect companion for any home. Zena's new family will play a crucial role in her well-being. Microchipping, spaying, and ensuring she is up-to-date on vaccinations are essential steps to guarantee her health and safety. Please note that these additional measures are not included in the adoption fee and must be covered by the adopters before she can go home. Zena is ready to find her forever family—could it be you? Adopt her today!

Story
Meet Joey, a sweet pup with an incredible story of resilience. Joey and his four siblings arrived at WCAC scared, unsocialized, and in need of a lot of love. To them, people were terrifying, but thanks to the kindness and dedication of the community, Joey has made amazing progress. He’s now a gentle, good-tempered pup who gets along great with dogs, cats, and kids. Joey is ready to begin his next chapter with optimism and a wagging tail! We believe he may be a collie mix. Please note that the listed adoption fee does not include the cost of neutering or bringing him up to date on vaccinations. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Animal Control at 618-327-9471 or reach out through our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064739284772. Joey is ready for a loving home—could it be yours?

Meet sweet Indigo, a gentle and loving 6-month-old who has been waiting far too long for her forever home. We’re stunned she hasn’t been adopted yet! Indigo is already spayed and ready to start the next chapter of her life. While she can be selective about other dogs, she’s very playful once she feels comfortable with them. As for cats—well, Indigo isn’t quite convinced they aren’t plotting something! Be the change Indigo needs in her life. Come visit and maybe even adopt her today!

Story
Hi, my name is Sheila and I'm 15 years old.  I was adopted when I was 7 years old and returned when I was 13 years old.  I was returned because I had severe anxiety when it stormed or when there were loud noises.  My family lived in the path of an airport and the planes flying over caused me to have anxiety.  I am back living with the foster family that I lived with before I was adopted. My foster mom says I am one of the smartest dogs she ever met.  I am friendly and greet visitors at the door.  If it's just one person I lay on the floor and just relax.  If there are many visitors I greet them and then relax in a different room.  I do pace when there are thunderstorms. My foster mom said one time I used the bath tub as a safe place during a storm.  I am guarded with men I don't know.  I don't live with any other dogs or cats.  I have learned to accept other dogs when I go to the groomer. I do not like being in a crate. I do best in a home where I am the only pet.  I am house trained.  I am available for immediate adoption.  I am spayed, UTD on vaccinations, heartworm tested, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped.  My adoption fee is $100.  If you are interested in making me a member of your family please complete an Adoption Profile in person or on-line at www.bondcohumane.org.  Email the completed profile to the address provided.  A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds and returns is available upon request.October 24, 2024, 4:29 pm
