PET OF THE WEEK

Django
Male | Siberian Husky Mix | 5 Years 9 Months Old | Black

Meet Django! This kiddo has pep in his step and loves to go on walkies with MHS staff and volunteers. You might occasionally see him chilling behind the front desk with us!

Django loves the people he knows, leaning in for b***y scritches and ear rubs. He's a picky eater but loves cheese and durable chews!

If you have another dog, we'd recommend talking to staff about having your dog meet Django.

Django would likely do best with children 12 and up! . Django has never lived with cats, but we think he could with appropriate introductions!

This guy can't wait to inexplicably take up half of your bed, despite only weighing 50 pounds. Come and meet him during our open hours, Thursday-Sunday from 11-3! June 23, 2025

We’re excited to share an update from the forever home of four lucky finches adopted from MHS! ✨

Now named Kitty (as in Hello Kitty), Dunkin, Glinda, and Heart, these cheerful little songbirds are thriving in their new home. 🎵

Their family shares that they have settled in beautifully and are even unfazed by their energetic pup, who leaves them to their chirpy business. 🐶🐦

Thank you to this wonderful family for giving these birds the happy ending they deserve! 💗

🐰 MHS has some wonderful bunnies looking for forever homes!

Hop on in and meet them during our open hours - Thursday through Sunday, 11am - 3pm.

These sweet rabbits love attention, enjoy being gently held, and are full of personality — perfect for families, including those with kids. Whether you're a first-time bunny parent or a seasoned rabbit lover, these adoptable friends are ready to bring joy (and a few zoomies!) into your life.

💕 Give a bunny a second chance — and gain a cuddly companion in return.

🐾 Happy Tail: Sylvie (formerly Abby) 🐾

We’re so happy to share a sweet update on Sylvie! 💕

Her new family tells us that Sylvie settled in the very first day—like she knew she was finally home. She’s adjusting wonderfully and wasted no time wrapping her humans around her little paw. Sylvie has become a true cuddle bug, always close by and purring nonstop. 🥹🐱

Since being adopted in February, she’s also grown a beautiful, long, fluffy coat—a transformation her family believes reflects how much more relaxed and happy she is now.✨

Stories like Sylvie’s remind us why we do what we do—every animal deserves a loving place to land, and we’re so grateful she found hers. ❤🩵🧡

Welcome home, Sylvie. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be. 🏡

We need you! We are currently looking for compassionate, reliable volunteers to join our team and support the daily care of the animals who depend on us.

We’re especially in need of:

🐾 Dog Walkers (must be 18+) – help our dogs get the exercise, enrichment, and love they need
🐱 Cat & Small Animal Volunteers – early risers needed for 8am shifts to care for our feline and small furry friends
🧺 Laundry & Dishes Volunteers – keep our shelter running smoothly behind the scenes
📅 Weekend Volunteers – support our animals and staff when they need it most

Whether you can give a few hours a week or just a few each month, you can make a real difference. 🩵🧡❤

Interested? Fill out our Volunteer Interest Form to get started:

Thank you for being part of a community that cares!

🐾 Mission Complete! 🐾

The Woodland Wanders AKC Fit Dog Club, aka the Agents of C.H.A.O.S. (Canine Havoc And Other Shenanigans), just wrapped up a special mission: help five incredible shelter dog Agents earn their AKC Spring Scurry 5K medals by walking or running 3.1 miles between March 1 and June 1.

Meet our medalists: Agents Woodrow, Frank, Loki, Django, and Biscuits
🏅 Each earned an official AKC Spring Scurry 5K medal to take home and points towards their Fit Dog title.

About the AKC Fit Dog Program:
The American Kennel Club’s Fit Dog program encourages healthy movement, outdoor adventure, and stronger bonds between dogs and their humans. By joining a recognized club like Woodland Wanders, you and your pup can participate in seasonal challenges, group walks, and community events—all while working toward official AKC fitness titles for the activities you complete and the miles you log together.

All dogs are eligible no matter their breed, mix, or background. No pedigree? No problem!

So if your dog has energy to burn, a nose for adventure, or a talent for delightful chaos—you’re in the right place.

🌲 Come join the Agents of C.H.A.O.S.
🎖️ Earn your medals, log your miles, and wag your way to greatness.
