Story
I have had Diamond since she was a puppy. We got her from our neighbors who did not want her. She is 5 yrs old, turns 6 years old in September. She’s a sweet dog and has never bitten any people, amazing with kids and very protective. She is not good around cats at all. She’s a sleepy girl and loves to chill on the couch.

Story
It was all a dream… until BIG POPPA walked into your life!Allow us to introduce Big Poppa – The Notorious P.I.T, a 5-year-old XL American Bully / mix who is ready to drop the hottest album of 2026: Ready to Adopt.Big Poppa is exactly what his name suggests: BIG dog. BIG head. BIG personality. BIG love. This absolute unit of a dog is goofy, ridiculously lovable, and has enough charm to make you wonder why he doesn’t already have his own entourage. He’s the kind of dog who walks into a room and immediately becomes the main event… mostly because it’s pretty difficult to overlook THAT much dog!And if there’s one thing you need to know about Big Poppa, it’s that Big Poppa LOVES snacks. Ask, “Do you want a treat?” and suddenly you have his undivided attention. His schedule is pretty packed: breakfast, snack, being handsome, snack, making everyone laugh, snack, dinner, and perhaps a little snack before bed. He takes his career very seriously.Underneath all that muscle and swagger, Big Poppa is one giant LOVE BUG! He adores his people, soaks up attention, and has perfected the art of being simultaneously intimidating-looking and an absolute goober. Think less notorious criminal mastermind and more massive toddler who would absolutely sell you out for a Milk-Bone.Big Poppa may do well in a home with other animals as long as proper, slow introductions are performed! He is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and current on flea/tick & heartworm preventatives. This Big Poppa is ready to go home!!Whether he’s making you laugh with his ridiculous antics, campaigning for another treat, or reminding you that personal space is merely a suggestion, life with Big Poppa is guaranteed to be anything but boring.So, if you don’t know, now you know!Big Poppa is ready to leave shelter life behind, find his forever crew, and finally answer the age-old question:“Do you want a treat?”The answer is yes.The answer will ALWAYS be yes.Please fill out an adoption application on our website - for any additional information or questions, please contact the shelter at wausharacoanimalshelter@gmail.com or (920) 279-9795.

Story
Meet Gunner We got another “stray call.” This guy was not thrilled to see us. No wagging tail. No instant trust. Just a scared, unsure dog who made it very clear he didn’t know what was about to happen—and honestly? Fair. Once we got him home, settled in, and realized treats are, in fact, a universal language… the tough guy act faded fast. Underneath it all is a big baby who just needed the world to slow down for a minute. Since then, we’ve learned a lot about his story—and it explains everything. He originally came from a shelter and, at only 11 months old, has already been through three different homes. The most recent “owners” are the ones who turned him in as a stray, so it’s pretty clear he wasn’t wanted anymore. That kind of instability does something to a dog. He can be growly with people he doesn’t know—but not aggressive. He doesn’t try to bite. He’d much rather create space and get away. That’s fear, not malice. Once he knows you? He’s affectionate, goofy, and relaxed. Good with kids Good with other dogs Does have some resource guarding with food around other dogs, so he will need to be fed separately He’s still a puppy. A confused one. A dog who has learned that people disappear—but is quietly hoping this time will be different. He deserves a family who understands that trust is built, not demanded. A home that won’t give up when he needs reassurance instead of pressure. A chance to finally stay. And honestly… after everything he’s been through? Who could blame him for being cautious. If you’re patient, kind, and willing to help him learn that not everyone leaves—this boy will give you his whole heart. Located in mauston Wisconsin Adoption info coming soon Please share. His story doesn’t need another chapter about being returned.   behavior note: His behaviors are consistent with a young dog who has experienced repeated instability—not a “problem dog.” The growling is distance-increasing communication, not intent to bite. He responds well to structure, routine, and positive reinforcement. His resource guarding is specific and manageable (feeding separately from other dogs), and we have already seen improvement with consistency. With a patient home and continued confidence-building, he has strong potential to thrive. ##2655778##

Story
I`m single and lovin` it! My name is Moana and I`m an active, playful girlie who is looking for a human to love. I will need to be the only pet in your household as I have a high prey drive toward cats/small animals and am anti-social with other dogs. I`m a great walker and an even better companion but I know that my pool of adopters will be small based on my needs. I`ve got my paws crossed that someone out there sees my potential and maybe even has had a dog like me. I`m ready to fall in love!
