Adoptable Dogs

 BAGEL
Age: 3 years
Breed: Bully Mix
Size: 50 lbs
Ideal Home: A calm, loving home where he can decompress, gain back his strength, and spend plenty of time with his people


Background:
Bagel was transferred to us from animal control after he began struggling with the stress of kennel life. Originally picked up as a stray in December, he waited patiently for a family that never came. The constant noise and chaos became overwhelming for this gentle boy, and the stress began to affect his health. He lost weight, his coat thinned, and it became clear he needed a quieter place to recover. Since arriving with us, Bagel has been settling in well. Our focus now is helping him regain weight, feel secure again, and prepare for the loving home he has always deserved.


Personality:

  • Gentle, affectionate, and incredibly sweet
  • Very people-oriented and happiest spending time with his humans
  • Walks beautifully on a leash
  • Polite and well-mannered in his kennel
  • Loves meals, treats, and quiet companionship


Good With:

  • Would be best starting at home as the only dog or possibly with a female dog pending a meet and greet


Does Not Prefer:

  • Cats


Bagel is the full package: handsome, loving, and deeply loyal. What he wants most is a peaceful home and a family who will cherish him the way he deserves.

Adoptable Cats & Kittens in Foster Care

Most kittens are in foster homes. All pets require an appointment to meet them, but especially kittens, as meet and greets depend on foster availability. To schedule a meet and greet please call 412-672-8901.


Generally, kittens do best with other pets in the home, especially another cat friend. Nearly all WOASH adoptable kittens require another cat in the home or to be adopted as a pair. We typically do not allow kittens do be adopted as the singular pet in the household, unless they require otherwise.  

Foster Families Needed

Cat-Savvy Fosters Needed

We have a few kitties who need a cat-savvy foster family, or foster-to-adopt home, to work with them on socialization. These cats are not feral, but they are not well socialized. We know they have it in them to be loving companions given the right circumstances and a patient person. Please consider serving as a socialization foster or a foster-to-adopt family. The kitties to consider are Ricardo, Isley, Fenne, or Midnight!

KITTENS

We are always in need of reliable foster homes for kittens up to 6 months old, moms cats with nursing kittens, and neonatal kittens. Our greatest need is fosters willing to take on a mom and nursing kittens! 

WOASH can provide food, litter, and other supplies while foster families provide the love and care. Once kittens are of appropriate age and vet care, they begin seeking their forever homes through the WOASH adoption process.

Call to inquire about becoming a kitten foster home.

*The pictured kittens have been adopted and are not in need of a foster home.* 


Found kittens or a mom with nursing kittens? Offer to one time foster! By offering to foster the kittens through our shelter, we can provide supplies and care, you just provide the space, love, and care!
