Alton Animal Control could really use your help. We are very low on dog treats. We also need some of these small blankets for our cats. If you are able to purchase anything from our list, our animals would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

When purchasing from this link, it will mail it directly to animal control.

Please share for rescue placement!

Misty was brought to us when her owner unfortunately passed away. Misty is said to be around 6-7 years old. She is very calm and gentle. When you come to take her out, she wags her tail and walks well on a leash. She has done well with older dogs and even a very active young dog in our care.

If you have space for Misty in your rescue/shelter, please let us know!

This is PookieButt! He was an Alton AC dog that left for rescue and is still looking for his forever home with Metro East Humane Society! He has been with them several months, and just hasn’t found his people yet.
PookieButt prefers a home without kitties and with female dog buddies! He is only 45 pounds, so he’s the perfect medium size! If you are interested in meeting them, please reach out to them or stop by MEHS to meet him!

Remember our snuggly, chunky, hippo girl Amelia? She’s now known as Putty, and is ready for adoption at Metro East Humane Society!!

Putty 🥹

We're not quite sure what Putty is but dog she is not. Hippo? Maybe. Seal? Likely.

Putty is literal pawfection. She listens well. Walks well on leash. Keeps her kennel clean. Is SO sweet and SO cute. Even her snoring is adorable!! Her only negative is that she is a little bit of a diva and does demand that her treats be hand fed to her. If you put a treat on her bed, she will not touch it!

Meet 5 year old, 73 lbs. (she's short but chonky!) Putty today at our Edwardsville location between 11:30 and 5!
