Winnebago County Animal Services

I want you to go see Lady and China and they were already gone but I fell in love with another one and we brought her home and her name was Molly she's a beautiful girl and she's doing wonderful we will update you with pictures soon

The entire staff here from the lady I spoke to on the phone,to the nurses that took Bear at his end,were so kind and understanding. They also have prices for low income families like myself who can't afford much which is huge!
Thank you for all you do

A neighbor's dog 🐕 was running loose and doing his "business" in OUR yard. Animal services came right away and found its home. Due to very traumatic experiences, I am not a dog lover [sorry, not sorry! I was bit and had to have shots in the stomach 😩
Pets are adorable in their own home and on a leash!

Staff was very helpful, went on one of there special adoption days so it was busy but happy to say we found a beautiful girl a forever home.

Their staff was awesome! Very nice and helpful. They have some wonderful animals available for adoption both cats and dogs

The organization is commendable for its diverse collection of animals and its efficient adoption process. I highly recommend their services to anyone interested in adopting a pet.

I recently found a dog online and went to Winnebago county animal shelter to transfer ownership from the party to myself people were very friendly very helpful very transparent about everything

I've gotten a puppy from their and now a kitten great people their wonderful services need to have more people out their that take in dogs that people get tired of and let lose and don't care.

Went in hopes of finding a dog. The staff was very helpful and patient with me. Looking forward to bringing him home in 9 more days!

OMG, The people who helped me the last couple of days were awesome! Looking into a dog that was still on a stray hold. Hoping ore dreams come true!

Facility is very clean, dog area is as well (didn't go into cat area). Staff and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable. Affordable place to find your new family member.

When you are ready to adopt an animal, they are courteous and very helpful in understanding the process.

I found my perfect pet there and they are wonderful people to help

We went to look at the dogs last Saturday.. came home with this little gem.. Aqua! She's definitely not a dog! She's so sweet and snuggly.. ❤ everyone at the shelter were helpful and really tried to do everything possible to make our visit enjoyable. (They were SO busy!!) It was a great experience! *1st vet visit

A great place for adopting a dog or cat as a family pet or companion. This organization will provide advice on how to properly take care of your new pet and help the pet bond into your family. This organization also will accept surrender pets that the owners are unable to take care of or for any reason. The Winnebago County Animal shelter website is easy to use and if you need any wildlife removed from your property humanely they are the best way for you to get the job done.

Very Kind, and accommodated very well, I saw nothing but kindness and caring, but they can only do so much, they really try!! s

The small cages they are in for 10 days, mine weighed 65 pounds, I wish they had the funds to accommodate for the larger dogs. ( even though they let them out daily for a while, are just to small, and affected my support dog tremendously, It took him a good 6 months to get back to normal.but watch out, your animal WILL COME OUT OF A 10 DAY QUARENTINE WITH KENNEL COUGH, even though they gave my animal a preventative shot, and was then put on pills for it, they actually sent pills home with us, but we still had to get him treated again at our vet very very soon after, it did not go away until our vet prescribed him meds. Bottom line, make sure that you personally take full responsibility , know your pet, inside and out, temperment, how they react to strangers, etc. and take the very very necessary steps of the highest level of protection of your animal, and especially those who may come in contact with your animal. Do not expose your animal to the potential of a stranger in their presence, if you know your animal is trained to protect you. A big big lesson was learned, I finally took over ownership of the animal, and he is watched like a hawk., and all necessary precautions have been taken, to the point of myself moving , with my pet, securing him in proper ways, and , when my animal can handle new people if very very slowly introducing him to new people, and by having visitors CALL, BEFORE COMMING OVER, and if needed , I will put him in my bedroom with food and water , and close the door, until such time he is very slowly introduced. I have A FEW DESIGNATED REAS WHERE SIGNS ARE POSTED ", DO NOT APPROACE DOG UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!!" AND I ALSO TOLD ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS THE PROCESS OF GETTING AND MEETING MY 70 POUND DOG . IF THIS IS DONE PROPERLY, I HAVE GREAT RESULTS...MANY NEIGHBORS CAN ENTER MY HOUSE OR YARD, WITH NOTICE FIRST, AND MY DOG AXEL TURNS ONTO A BIG BABY, AND JUSTS WANTS TO PLAY ALL DAY LONG, HE'S A HAPPY WE'LL ADJUSTED DOG, WITH A PERMANENT LOVING, SAFE HOME NOW, AS LONG AS THE RULES ATE FOLLOWED. I WILL LOVE HIM FOREVER, HIS NAME IS AXEL, SO ANYONE READING THIS, PLEASE LEARN FROM MY FAMILY'S MISTAKES, YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOSE YOUR PET DUE TO NEGLANCE, OR NOT TAKING THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS, EVEN IF THEY SEEM EXTREME, YOU WILL SAVE YOUR BELOVEDS PETS LIFE IF YOU LISTEN.

Great facility. Very sweet women that work there and I was able to find my sweet little girl there! Was sheeba ... now Kali

They were so helpful!! I find the best dog!! Stop in and check for yourself!!

Sad seeing all the homeless dogs I wish they all got adopted all dogs deserve a good home. But other than that the staff is helpful and polite and the place is clean.

I got two cats from here, Mars and Cira (formerly justice) within the span of a year. They quickly became the best of friends, and I've had absolutely no issues with either. The volunteers here really do care, and I'd definitely recommend trying to find your pet here.
