Just a few of the animals we’ve had adopted in the past!

Blaze - Adpot a Dog

Blaze is a good looking boy. He’s white with some gray on his face and little gray spots all over his back. He is housebroken, but may need a little reinforcement in his new home.

Chase - Adpot a Dog

Chase

Chase came to us from another rescue. He is good with children. Chase loves to run around & play and can be dog selective.

Peaches - Adopt a Cat

Peaches

Peaches came to AWS from another rescue after not having any success in finding a forever home. Peaches is a little over a year and a half old.

Bella - Adpost a Cat

Bella

Bella came to AWS as an owner surrender after the family was unable to keep her. She is 2 years old. Bella’s very sweet and likes attention!
