Story
Keyoko is the sweetest girl you will ever meet. She had been living a good life until her owner died and she - and her buddy Zeus - suddenly found themselves at the shelter with nowhere to go. One of our wonderful fosters has agreed to take both of them in until we can find their new forever homes. In addition, a kind supporter has sponsored part of her adoption fee to help her get settled soon. At 8yrs old, Keyoko is still playful and loves to cuddle with her people. She is looking for a safe and loving home. If you think that could be yours, click on the big black button marked "Ask About Me" and we will send you an application. This dog is being fostered in TN but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Story
🐾❤️Meet Sundance❤️🐾 Meet Sundance! He was found as a stray and thankfully brought to safety. So far, he has shown us he is a lovable guy, but is not friendly with other dogs. Online Dog Adoption Forms: https://wacshelter.com/adopt-a-dog/ Website for general questions: www.wacshelter.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wacshelter/ Email: wacvolunteers@gmail.com ** Be sure to check out our FACEBOOK page for day-to-day updates on our cats and dogs. Canine adoption fee includes: Spay/neuter Age-appropriate vaccinations Deworming Flea prevention (if required) Heartworm screening/monthly prevention ADOPTION FEE: $ 150 "People who say money can't buy you happiness, have never paid an adoption fee...." IS THIS DOG SAFE WITH CATS? There is almost always an acclimation period when a new pet joins the household. We are happy to suggest a few ways to ease the transition. If one of our dogs is reported to have lived with cats previously, that will be indicated in the dog's description! IS THIS DOG GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS? No dog loves every other dog, just as humans do not like every other human they meet. A proper introduction (meet and greet) would be required as part of our application process. IS THIS DOG GOOD WITH CHILDREN? The better question is how the children have been taught to handle animals. A dog will respond negatively if he/she is not being handled properly. We can offer suggestions on how to teach children to interact with dogs and pay attention to body language. Young children should never be left unsupervised with new dogs. WHY IS THIS DOG IN THE SHELTER? The top reasons dogs are given up are: Moving without considering the needs of the pets Death of the owner with no plan in place for the pets Previous owner did not provide appropriate training Owner did not consider the lifespan of a dog Owner did not consider the cost of providing for a dog

Cocoa(10) is a purebred Akita. She was a gift many years ago and has been a great protector and pet. Through the many changes that life has brought Cocoa is no longer a good fit for our household. She lives in a house with children, with limited interaction, and never any issues. Does well with male dogs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions

Story
Meet Boo! Don’t worry — these little Monsters are more about cuddles than scares! Meet the Monsters, Inc. litter, a group of playful, lovable, and totally adorable husky mix puppies named after your favorite characters from the beloved movie. These little loveable “scare” experts are ready to bring joy, laughter, and plenty of puppy kisses into your life. But be warned—once you meet them, your heart will be monstrously full! Just like her Monsters, Inc. namesake, Boo is a curious, loving, and playful little pup who will steal your heart in an instant! Boo's past is a bit of a mystery but we believe she experienced unkind interactions with humans, so she is bit timid at first. She needs someone who is willing to meet her where she is, understands that she needs time and patience, and is invested in continuing to support confidence building and positive associations with humans. She may start off a bit shy, but once she warms up, she’s an affectionate, snuggly lovebug who adores pets, cuddles, and gentle playtime. Boo enjoys a balanced mix of play and rest, spending her days exploring her environment, climbing on things, and soaking up all the love from her humans. Boo enjoys playtime, snuggles, and naps in equal measure. Boo a smart girl who already knows many basic commands like "sit", "down", "stay", and "come." She is working on potty training, wearing a collar, leash training, and crate training. She’s friendly with people and other animals but appreciates a little patience when meeting new friends. With a calm and consistent routine, she’ll thrive in just about any home environment — whether it’s with a quiet, laid-back family or a more active household. This girl has made so much progress already and is ready to take on the world with someone who is dedicated to her training and socialization. Adoption is $325, which includes spay/neuter at our vet when age appropriate, vaccines to date of adoption, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health.

Story
Meet Koda - Koda is a one-year-old pup full of energy, smarts, and love. With her vibrant personality and affectionate nature, she’s ready to find a foster — or better yet, a forever home — where she can truly shine. Koda is well-adjusted to home life. She’s crate trained, potty trained, and always ready for her next adventure. Mornings are her favorite — she starts each day with playful energy and would make an excellent jogging or walking partner. She’s also very dog-friendly and would thrive with a playful male dog in the home. Affectionate, eager to learn, and always up for fun, Koda is the perfect match for an active person or family looking for a loyal companion. If you're ready for a sweet, playful sidekick who’s always up for a good time, Koda is waiting to meet you. Adoption is $275, which includes spay/neuter at our vet, vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health. Although we work to potty train all of our dogs, we cannot guarantee full house training before adoption. Regression is a normal part of transitioning to a new home.
