Avery (2)certainly enjoys water and MUD!

Avery is a 2 year old, 30+ lb mix of possibly a Dutch shepherd and your guess is as good as mine.
She is sweet, energetic, playful, potties outside, and really needs a home where someone will spend time with her.
She is VERY choosy with friends, she seems to get along with dogs that are bigger than her.
Do you work from home?
Here at the shelter she seems to have separation anxiety.
She JUST WANTS TO BE WITH SOMEONE!
She is a joy to be around, and will keep you on your toes.
Time. Patience. Love. That’s what she needs.
A WONDERFUL PATRON HAS SPONSORED HER ADOPTION FEE!!!

A friendly reminder that you need to rabies vaccinate your cats!
Is your cat an indoor cat? They still need to be vaccinated!
Why? Have you ever had a bat in your home?
PLEASE VACCINATE YOUR PETS!
Here is the link to our next cat vaccination clinic:

Veterinarians from the University of Illinois explain what cat owners need to know about the new Illinois law requiring rabies vaccines for cats.

🩷Delilah is HOME!!!🩷

This wonderful couple was dropping off donations, and saw a volunteer walking a dog.
They stopped her and said “Is that Delilah?”
And the volunteer said “YES!”
They already had an approved application and had their eye on Delilah for a bit.
And the rest is Delilah’s HAPPILY EVER AFTER!
🥰

Thank you adopters, Janey, and the community for helping!
Thank you to the patron who had already donated her adoption fee!

Titan (1+) had a meet and greet with a big puppy last weekend. Even though he didn’t get adopted, he was so happy and playful!
He has met dogs he wasn’t fond of before.
This is the importance of a meet and greet!
