“Treating customers (people & pets) as family!”

 

WSTW loves pets! That’s why we’ve partnered with Humane Animal Partners (formerly Delaware Humane Association and Delaware SPCA) to bring you our Pets of the Week. Each week, we’ll show you a cat and a dog from Humane Animal Partners who need good homes. 

Pets of the week

Snowflake - HAP Stanton/Christiana

Meet Snowflake, our beautiful 9-year-old white kitty! This beauty was brought into HAP after her owner faced some personal hardships. This can be a big scary change for any cat, but Snowflake handled it all like a champ! Snowflake is like any older lady, refined, gentle and a little lazy! She enjoys napping in sunny spots, just as much as she enjoys a snack. While she doesn’t mind batting a toy around, she much prefers the calmer side of life! Snowflake has lived with other cats, so we think she’d do fine with a calm kitty friend.

Shelby - HAP Wilmington

This one-eyed beauty is our girl, Shelby! She came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in New Jersey when they no longer had space for her. Despite being in the shelter, she settled in beautifully and has been quite the favorite around here! Shelby spent a couple of months as our lobby cat, greeting all visitors and leaning into everyone for love. She enjoys playing with jingles balls and wand toys, zooming quickly to bat them around. She also appreciates a good afternoon nap, either cuddled up with you or cozy on her bed. Shelby is very friendly when meeting new people, though she is also a confident girl and will set boundaries if she gets overwhelmed with a gentle tap. While Shelby is social with people, she is seeking a home as your only cat.

Athena - HAP Wilmington

Athena is a 15-year-old sweetheart, with the most affectionate and silly personality! She came to HAP when she was found wandering as a stray, underweight with severe dental disease. We extracted her teeth, which were beyond repair or cleaning, to give her a pain-free life. Athena is extremely affectionate with all people, loves to be snuggled or held, and is very tolerant. Despite having no teeth, she loves to eat snacks all day and talk to you, always saying what’s on her mind! When she’s feeling youthful, you may notice her chase a toy or pounce on a squiggly, fuzzy worm. She loves making biscuits and sunbathing in her free time. Athena is well-socialized with other cats too!

Fable - HAP Stanton/Christiana

This pretty girl is Fable. Fable loves to play with toys and fetch. She especially loves to play tug-of-war, and this strong girl can play for hours! Fable is looking for a family that matches her high-energy lifestyle. Once her energy is out, she loves to snuggle up in your lap for some love. Fable already knows basic commands and is food motivated to learning, making the possibilities endless! If you love to spend most of your time outside, hiking, going to parks, or running and working out, come meet Fable! She’s a sweet girl waiting for her forever home!

Reina - HAP Wilmington

This big, beautiful girl is looking to be your one and only furbaby! Reina is about 3 years old and came to HAP when her owners could no longer care for a pet. When she arrived, she was missing several chunks of fur and had severely irritated skin. We started her on medication and regular baths, to soothe her skin and she has since regrown the majority of her bright, white coat! Reina is not a fan of other dogs, so the shelter environment can be stressful for her at times, with a lot of barking and other dogs nearby. Despite this, once she is outside and away from the loud noises, she is very relaxed and her true personality shines! Reina is very affectionate with people and eager to please. She knows basic commands and appears house-trained too!

Tonic - Available in Foster

Tonic is a 2-year-old bulldog mix that loves meeting new people! Tonic originally came to HAP as a puppy and was swiftly adopted. In their home, Tonic was severely attacked by another dog and returned to the shelter a year later. Despite being back at HAP, Tonic is still easy-going and sweet as ever! When he’s not cuddling with our staff, he can usually be found zooming around outside. He has such a goofy personality and loves to play. His favorite toys are chewy bones. Tonic already knows basic commands and walks well with a harness. He is very food-motivated to learn, making the possibilities endless! He loves people, making him the perfect addition to your family!
