The Leptospirosis vaccine protects your pet from this deadly disease. Ask about it today to make sure your dog is protected!

Spring is here! And with that comes a warning about Leptospirosis, a disease caused by infection with Leptospira bacteria.

All dogs are at risk of leptospirosis, regardless of age, breed, lifestyle, geographic location, time of year, and other factors. The following situations can increase that risk:

➡Exposure to or drinking from slow-moving or stagnant water sources, like ponds, rivers, lakes, or streams
➡ Roaming on rural properties (because of exposure to potentially infected wildlife or farm animals or urine-contaminated water sources)
➡ Exposure to wild animals (especially rodents) or farm animals, even if in the backyard
➡ Contact with other dogs (such as in urban areas, dog parks, or boarding or training facilities)

Important cat food recall information!

FDA issues warning about cat food with low thiamine

The FDA has warned that eight lots of Quest Cat Food from Go Raw, sold as Steve's Real Food, contain dangerously low levels of thiamine, an essential nutrient for feline health. The FDA's advisory follows reports of cats with severe thiamine deficiency, including one from a veterinary neurologist. Although Go Raw has recalled three lots and halted sales, the FDA says the company has not sufficiently removed all affected products or informed customers.

☘️ St. Paw-tricks Day $5 Fundraiser! 🍀🐾

Archie could use some extra Good Luck this week as he is scheduled for Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgery on Friday, March 20, 2026.

Archie is a fun, little guy who unfortunately has deterioration on his left rear hip. After full evaluations, it has been determined his best course of treatment is surgery to remove the femoral head of the hip.

WCHS has successfully completed this exact surgery back in 2022 with another sweet shelter dog named Grady. As with Grady, we fully expect Archie to heal well and have a much better, pain free quality of life!

The estimate for Archie’s surgery is $2450 and WCHS is fortunate enough to have received a Medical Grant Award from Rescue Pack. WCHS is fundraising to help cover the remaining $1450 of Archie’s surgery costs.

We know that $5 (or more, if able) can go a long way! Likes, shares and comments also help bring awareness to the daily challenges, and sometimes medical needs, of wonderful shelter pets, just like Archie.

Thank you in advance to Rescue Pack and all our supporters who help us each and every day.

Please send Good Luck and Good Vibes to Archie for a successful surgery. 🍀🐾💚
(P. S - he will be available for adoption soon)

Donations can be made via Facebook and Instagram or via our website online giving link below. Please share. 💚

Thank you in advance!
