Story
Meet Rock!Rock came to the shelter in May of last year and has been patiently waiting for a place to call home ever since. He was found abandoned at a local dog park here in Walworth County. Frightened and unsure of strangers, Rock wasn’t about to walk up to just anyone. A staff member and a Good Samaritan tried to find him the night before with no luck. Thankfully, that kind-hearted Good Samaritan came out the next day. With the help of her own friendly pup, she was able to gain Rock’s trust and safely bring him to us. Since that day, he’s been under our care, waiting for his fresh start.Rock is the kind of dog who makes you earn his affection — and that just makes it all the more special. He’s an independent guy who loves to explore the trails, take in his surroundings, and quietly observe the world around him. He may not immediately seek out attention, but bring out a treat and you’ll have his full, unwavering focus!Rock is a smart boy who already knows how to sit and will happily offer his paw in exchange for a snack — and yes, it’s quite the thick paw. He thrives with patience, consistency, and someone willing to let him build trust at his own pace.If you’re ready to give a deserving dog who’s had a rough start the second chance he’s been waiting for, consider applying to meet Rock today. His best chapter is still ahead — could it be with you?Adoption information•2 years old•Neutered•Current for vaccinations •Microchipped •Large boy! •Older children due to stories we were told about the previous ownerYou can call 262-723-1000 or email us at lakelandanimalshelter@gmail.com Please remember dog meetings are by an appointment with an approved application.

Story
Shadow arrived at the shelter as a stray in November. Upon intake, she was thin, timid and uncertain around the staff. Following the completion of her stray hold, she was transported to Lake Geneva Animal Hospital for spaying. During this procedure, an echocardiogram (echo) was performed, revealing a ventricular septal defect (VSD), a congenital heart defect, specifically a `hole in the center of her heart` within the wall separating the lower ventricles. This diagnosis was understandably concerning. While life expectancy for dogs with VSDs can be variable, especially at her young age, Shadow`s defect is unfortunately quite significant. The primary hope is that if she can reach 1-2 years of age, her condition may stabilize. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor her closely regarding any future anesthesia procedures.Despite the initial challenges, Shadow has undergone a remarkable transformation within the shelter environment, blossoming into a more confident and outgoing dog. While she is not particularly fond of all other dogs, she has been working on branching out. Unfortunately she is not a fan of cats at all. Although she has made significant progress, Shadow is still learning to trust humans and is now taking positive steps.Ask about her today!Adoption Information-•9 months old•Spayed•Tested negative for Heartworm •Microchipped •Wormed•Fecal tested•Still needs some guidance Please remember dog meetings are by an appointment with an approved application.
