We Care for Animals featured pets are puppies Judy, Shep, and Lily. These pups are available for adoption! All the puppies have now been spay/neutered, received 2 sets of parvo/distemper vaccines and have been microchipped. All will be medium to large in size. We have been told that mom is Chow-Akita (she weighs 52 lbs and suspect dad is an Australian Shepherd-Heeler mix (looks to be 55-60 lbs). These pups will require a dedicated owner as they will require lots of daily exercises, obedience training, house training, learning to walk on a lead and being treated as a loving member of their new family. To express interest in any of these pups, go to wecareforanimals.org to complete our online adoption application. The pups will be at our next pet adoption on April 2nd at Modern Pet, 1085 W. Pioneer Blvd. The adoption fee is $100.

Adoptable Cats:
Simba and Apollo’s owner could no longer care for these two sweet orange felines. These brothers are very shy right now but are starting to settle in and relax. They have now been neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Simba is long-haired and Apollo has short hair. They are about 5 months old. We would like these two boys to go together to their new forever home. They are very gentle boys.
Lainie is a beautiful long haired black feline. She will be 2 years old this June. Lainie is loving and sweet-natured. She would do well as an only cat with someone who is home most of the time. She would be fine with another calm, well-mannered cat. She enjoys having people around and wants your attention. Lainie is spayed, microchipped and current on all vaccines.
Merle will be one year in May 2022. He is an affectionate cat, very gentle and loves to be petted. He will snuggle with you but doesn’t want to sit on your lap. He always wants to be near you. Merle will greet you when you come home and he is quite a talker. Merle is good with other cats and well-mannered dogs of all sizes. Merle has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated If you are interested in Merle please complete our pre-adoption application found at http://www.wecareforanimals.org. If you have questions please call Karen at 435-862-9574.
Adoptable Dogs:
We rescued Jimmy from a shelter where he was going to be euthanized for extreme fear. We don’t know Jimmy’s history before landing in the shelter, but he obviously wasn’t given the love and socialization that every pet needs. Jimmy has been in foster care for some time in a calm and loving environment, and he has made a lot of progress. Jimmy is really sweet but very shy towards people. He has never shown aggression to anyone. He wants very much to trust but he finds it difficult at times to commit all the way. Jimmy does show some preference for women. He will come up to his foster mom most of the time when there is food involved. Jimmy would benefit greatly in a calm and loving home (no small children) with someone home most of the time and who is committed to gaining Jimmy’s trust and taking his confidence to the next level. Jimmy may not be a lap dog, but he really enjoys belly rubs. Jimmy loves playing with other dogs similar in size. Having another small playful dog as a companion for Jimmy would be a plus. Jimmy enjoys hanging out in the yard and laying in the sun. He would enjoy and needs a home with a safe and secure backyard. He can be a runner. He does well on a leash and on walks. He is housetrained with a dog door. Jimmy is a Chihuahua mix with long legs. He is approximately 3 years of age and weighs 13.4 lbs. He is neutered, current on his vaccines and microchipped. To express interest, please complete our online adoption application at wecareforanimals.org. Jimmy’s adoption fee is $100.
SPAy/Neuter Assistance
WCFA offers low-cost spay/neuter assistance for very limited-income pet owners in Mesquite, Bunkerville and the Arizona Strip and we also offer TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) for the community (feral) cats. Spay/neuter applications are available at Mesquite Veterinary Clinic located at 371 Riverside Road and at Virgin Valley Veterinary Hospital at 660 Hardy Way, Suite 44. You may also call WCFA at 702-346-3326 to leave a message or visit wecareforanimals.org to contact us by email. Spay/neuter is a health benefit to your pet and prevents accidental litter that overburdens shelters and rescues.
Fostering Saves Lives
Fostering is a commitment to saving homeless pets. Fosters provide a safe haven for a cat or dog until it is adopted. Sharing foster responsibilities with another foster is also an option. Fostering could be one of the most rewarding experiences for you. To express interest in fostering, please complete our online foster application at wecareforanimals.org.
