Did you know that November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month? We have a few senior dogs and cats looking for a good home at the shelter!
Love Me Because....I'm overweight Love Me Because....I'm older Love Me Because....I'm shy Love Me Because Adoption Event is on Saturday, November 21st from 12-4pm at Wyandotte City Hall at 3131 Biddle Ave, after the Wyandotte Christmas Parade. Lots of special needs cat and dogs from Wyandotte Animal Shelter, P.A.W.S. of Michigan, Shelter to Home, and Pug Lady Kingdom will be attending and available for adoption!! Special animals for special people! For more information, email wacvolunteers@gmail.com
Please note! Filling out an application does not guarantee you the animal. It is not based on a first come, first saved basis, but on the best fit for the animal.
ADOPTION FEE:
Felines: $60-cash only is accepted.
The adoption fee includes: 1st distemper, spay/neuter (if 10 weeks or older and weigh at least 2 pounds), rabies if over 12 weeks, and a combo test (FIV/FeLuk).
Dogs: $85-cash only is accepted.
The adoption fee includes spay or neuter, 1st distemper vaccine. Rabies vaccine if over 12 weeks & heartworm test if old enough.
If the animal you adopt has not had all of the above vet work completed they will be scheduled to go on the next available shuttle to Humane Ohio. This is usually within one month. The adoption fee only covers the above vet work when it is done through the Wyandotte Animal Shelter's affiliated veterinarians.
Regardless of any vet work performed prior to adoption, it is imperative to take your new companion to the vet. the animals may have been vaccinated, but have not had any sort of general check up. The Wyandotte Pound and its staff do not have any knowledge of any illness or ailment the animal may have and can not be held responsible for anything found after the animal is adopted. We try our best to treat what we see, but do not have the resources to have every animal checked out by a vet. Pound volunteers and staff know many area vets, and can recommend a place if you are interested.
Thinking about turning your pet in to the pound due to certain problems the two of you are having? Before relinquishing, contact our troubleshooters at wacvolunteers@gmail.com. We might have the solution!

A Shelter Dogs Poem
Once upon a time, you see,
There was this little pup
For reasons unbeknownst to me,
His family gave him up
Maybe it was chewing
Everything that he could find
Maybe they were busy and
Just didn't have the time
They took him to the shelter
And they just left him there
Outside, alone, in the cage
Shivering and scared
Even though they knew inside
If he went through those doors
He may never have the chance
To find a home like yours
He sat there crying silently
Wondering what he did
That was so bad that they just
Had to leave him like they did
However fate was smiling
On that little pup that day
Because a lady saw him
And she whisked him right away
He got a second chance at life
That others may have not
And now he's in a loving home
With everything he wants
Every day he gets that love
That he was looking for
And silently is thankful for when
She walked through that door
Others may not have this chance
So open up your heart
And adopt a shelter dog to take
And give a brand new start
