Gronk is a great dog. He really loves to snuggle and lay on your lap while on the couch. He loves to go on walks and play with his Kong toys. He is great with people and kids who respect and treat dogs well. He sleeps every night with our 9 year old daughter. He is also good in the car. He is a great boy who would do very well in a home where he is the only dog.

Story
We found her from a breeder at 4 months old. She quickly made our home her home. We have had her for about 8 1/2 years. She is an older dog but young at heart. Kali is a very cuddly and loving dog and just wants to keep you company, She is cage and house trained and loves to play. She will challenge you at a game of fetch, She loves the outdoors and will be a great companion on family camping trips if you are a camper. Kali absolutely loves her walks but as time and jobs have gotten busy the availability for walks and caring for her has dwindled. We are looking for someone that has the time and attention that she deserves as she approaches her second half of life. She deserves someone to give her as much love as she has to give. She will quickly become your best friend and deserves that in return.

Story
Johny (aka Journey) has had quite the "journey" making his way to WAR's care. WAR first came in contact with Journey when he escaped from a car and refused to come back to his owner. WAR responded to a plea on social media and was able to trap him. After trapping him, we found that he had a severe case of foxtails embedded in the webbing of his feet. WAR agreed to have him treated by a vet and he had surgery to remove the foxtails from his paws. After surgery, WAR microchipped him and returned him to his owner, who was staying with a relative at the time. The owner was advised that Journey had just undergone surgery on his paws and needed to be kept indoors and his paws treated daily during his recovery. WAR followed up later and learned that the owner and his relative had turned Journey back outside and he was not receiving the post operative care he needed. Carol went back to the residence to offer her services and learned that the owner had left the residence on foot with Journey and no one knew where they were. It was learned that the owner was homeless and had only been at the residence temporarily.  After a great deal of time, WAR received a call from a shelter in Oregon. They had picked up Journey and had been unable to reach the registered owner. WAR was listed as a secondary contact, so they reached out to us. We quickly sent a plea out to social media to get help transporting Journey from the shelter in Oregon back to WAR. With the help of our amazing community of supporters, we were successful in bringing him back to us.  Fast forward to May/June of 2024..Journey was very happy to be back with us. He was very sweet, loving and playful, but was in need of some obedience training to work on his basic commands, recall and leash training. We put another plea out on social media for a local trainer who would be willing to volunteer their time to work with Journey and were quickly contacted by Tina Garcia from Goin to the Dogs who graciously volunteered her time. The results were outstanding!  Journey is now ready to be adopted into his forever home. He is spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated. If you have any questions about Journey, you can send an email to wiltonanimalrescue@gmail.com. If you would like to meet him or are interested in adopting, please complete an Adoption Application by clicking on the following link: https://wiltonanimalrescue.com/adoption-application/January 5, 2025, 5:42 pm

Story
Kola and Kricket are not just any dogs; they are a bonded pair duo with a story that deserves to be told. After being adopted in 2016, they spent eight wonderful years in a loving home. Sadly, their world was turned upside down when their beloved owner passed away, leading them back to the shelter and leaving them searching for a chance at a new beginning.At 13 years old, Kola has seen a lot in his life. He may be a senior, but his spirit is as vibrant as ever. With a heart full of love, he craves connection and is always eager to engage with those around him. Kola is a gentle giant, known for his playful nature and his love of belly rubs. He embodies the resilience that comes with time, reminding us all that joy can be found no matter the circumstances.Kricket, his devoted sister, is 11 years old and has a calm demeanor that perfectly complements Kola`s playful energy. While she may take a little longer to warm up, once she does, her affection knows no bounds. Kricket has stood by Kola’s side through thick and thin, offering him comfort and companionship throughout their journey. She is a testament to the bond that can only exist between a bonded pair, and together, they have faced life`s challenges head-on.Kola is Kricket`s main squeeze, but we recently introduced her to some other calm male and female dogs and she did just fine.   Check out her playgroup video here:To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis. To help expedite the meet and greet process, please make note of my Animal ID number, and those of other dogs you might be interested in meeting. Be sure to bring your ID with you, too.
