🎃 HAPPY HOWL-O-WEEN! 🎃
🐾 AND FIVE MORE HAPPY TAILS! 🐾

Talk about a Halloween treat! We had FIVE very special dogs find their furever homes today! 🧡

Help us celebrate Nacho, Delores, Rosie, Gemma, and Wednesday! These five sweet faces are heading off on brand-new adventures, complete with families to love them, couches to claim, and memories waiting to be made. 🏡❤️

There is no trick to it, finding loving homes for dogs like these is the BEST treat of all! And a shout out to the Shelter staff for the time and effort put into getting these 5 dogs into those loving homes! You are appreciated!

A huge thank-you to everyone who continues to support the Wayne County Dog Shelter, shares our posts, visits our dogs, volunteers, donates, and helps make these happy endings possible.

Happy Howl-O-Ween from all of us at WCDS! 🐶🧡

Now that our visitation room is all buttoned up and ready for use again, we are realizing that our former way of cleaning will damage the snazzy new floor that Lowe's provided for us. So we're asking for your help! We have added a Bona mop system to our Amazon wish list, along with some extra cleaning solution to keep it looking its best!

If you are doing some shopping this weekend and would like to help, we would certainly appreciate it! Here's the link to our Amazon urgent needs list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2D4VM0X5ARDE9?ref_=list_d_wl_lfu_nav_3

Have a wonderful weekend!!

PRINCESS ROSIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED! 10/31/26

Name: Rosie
Age: 2 years
Gender: Female Spayed
Breed: Mini Poodle Mix
Weight: 9 Ibs

Meet Princess Rosie Posie!

Beautiful, tiny Rosie is a 9 pound bundle of joy. She was in a wonderful foster home and is making strides toward becoming a fine young lady. She loves her crate and will go lay inside it when she's tired. That is, if she's not on the couch cuddling with you. She loves the constant contact of her humans being nearby. She frequently makes eye contact to ensure she's on the right track when exploring parks and trails. She especially loves going on "sniffaris" on neighborhood sidewalks. This little girl loves getting outside to see and sniff what's out there, so either a leash or a flight proof fence is needed for her. She's just so happy sitting next to you on a cushioned yard swing.

Rosie is mostly but not 100% house-trained yet. She is on a tight schedule to perfect that. She is crate trained. She rides nicely in the car but needs some form of restraint for safety because she gets excited to look out the windows. She sets a quick pace on her walks and pulls a bit. She recalls to her name pretty well. She loves children and has her favorite boy whom she waits for at the gate to play with her. She has met several dogs and thinks they're "cool" too. She would love to play with a friendly cat, and her foster had an older cat which she has learned to respect.

This sweet, active, busy little dog will become the perfect family member, and is waiting for someone to love and care for her forever.

🐾🩵WEEKLY BOYFRIEND FOSTER UPDATE 🩵🐾

* In honor of National Cat Day, Boyfriend continues to show a friendly interest in the kittens in the foster home and would very much like to play with them. His interest appears friendly and playful, he doesn’t show any signs of aggression. His foster will continue to help Boyfriend learn appropriate boundaries with his much smaller feline friends

* Boyfriend recently received a new stuffed groundhog toy and absolutely loves it!

* Boyfriend continues to work on the “place" command and is doing well.

* Boyfriend’s confidence continues to grow. He has now gone up the steps twice without any assistance! What might seem like a small accomplishment to us was clearly a big deal to him. You can actually see how proud he is after overcoming a challenge that once required help.

* Boyfriend is making strides in his training, building confidence, and showing his foster more of the lovable dog he is becoming.

If you would like to set up a time visit with this wonderful 4 year old fella, please reach out to the shelter at 330-345-1018.
