🦃🐾 Give a Dog a Foster Home for the Holiday! 🐾🦃

This Thanksgiving, we’re inviting you to open your heart, and your home, for our Thanksgiving Sleepover program! ❤️

Here’s how it works:
🏡 Pick up your foster dog on Wednesday, November 26th
🕊 Return them on Saturday, November 29th (unless you fall in love and make it forever!) 💕

This special program gives our shelter dogs a much needed break from shelter life, a chance to enjoy cozy naps, yummy treats, and the warmth of a family for the holiday.

To get started, simply fill out our foster application, and a team member will be in touch:

This life-changing project will ensure that every dog is spayed or neutered before adoption, helping to prevent overpopulation and create a healthier, more compassionate community for all animals.

As the end of the year approaches, now is the perfect time to give —
💛 All donations are tax-deductible!

Help us reach our goal and make a lasting difference for the animals who need us most.

🐾 Grab a Coffee for a Cause! ☕💛

This Tuesday, November 4th, Biggby Coffee in Wooster is brewing up something extra special for the Wayne County Dog Shelter! For every cup of coffee sold $1 will be donated to help our sweet girl Clementine get the surgery she needs for her CCL (similar to an ACL in humans).

💔 Clementine came to us with seven puppies (all now adopted!) and has been nothing but pure love ever since. She’s a gentle, playful soul who lights up every room she’s in but she needs surgery to get back to running and playing pain-free again.

☕ Stop by Biggby Coffee on Tuesday and treat yourself to your favorite drink, every cup makes a difference!

💵 Not a coffee drinker but still want to help? Donations can also be made directly here: https://client.pointandpay.net/web/WayneCoDogShelterOH/

Let’s show Clementine how much her community cares! 🧡🐶

📍 Biggby Coffee, Wooster
🗓️ Tuesday, November 4th
