Some dogs spend their younger years running, playing, and giving everything they have to the people around them. When they reach their senior years, they deserve something in return: comfort, safety, and a place to call home.❤️

This sweet senior should not have to spend his golden years looking at the world through the bars of a kennel. He deserves a soft bed to rest his tired body on, a quiet home where he can finally relax, and someone who will remind him every single day that his life still matters.

He may not have as many years ahead of him as a younger dog, but that doesn't make those years any less important. In fact, it makes every single one of them that much more precious. Senior dogs still have love to give. They still deserve sunshine, grass beneath their paws, treats, belly rubs, and someone waiting for them at the end of the day.

No senior dog should have to live out the rest of their life in a cage. Please don't let the word "senior" make you scroll past him. Be the person who gives him the ending every good dog deserves—a home, a family, and the chance to spend his golden years knowing he is loved. 🐾❤️

Even if you can't adopt, please share. His person may be one share away.

Available for adoption or rescue located at Livingston County Animal Control, Pontiac, IL.

ADOPTED!!!

Meet Ziggy! 🐾 a 10-Month-Old Sweetheart Ready for a Real Home

Can you believe this handsome face is still waiting at the shelter? Ziggy is a mixed breed who is full of life, love, and goofy puppy energy. At just under a year old, he is at the perfect age to learn, bond, and become your ultimate adventure buddy. Because he is growing up in a kennel, he is desperately craving a family to show him what being a real dog is all about. He is incredibly eager to please, loves getting attention, and would thrive in a home that can give him the love, training, and exercise he needs.

Located at Livingston County Animal Control in Pontiac, IL. Available for rescue or adoption!

🍌MEET NANNA🍌

Found in a banana box with her siblings (yes, really 🍌), Nanna has upgraded her standards and now prefers things like warm floor vents, soft blankets, and comfy couches.

She’s a low-key homebody who wants to stay in… but also has just enough FOMO to join whatever you’re doing. Lazy Sunday? Perfect. She’ll match your energy—just don’t expect her to enjoy being left out of it 😅

Compared to her brother George, Nanna is the quieter one. She’s still building confidence, but she’s incredibly sweet and happiest when she’s close to her people (or another dog).

📆3 Months Old
✔️ Dog friendly 🐕
❓ Cats unknown 🐈
✔️ Certified cuddle expert 💤
🎓 Currently studying: Basic Training, Potty training, and crate training—she’s working on it and will get there with consistency and patience.

⚠️ We require puppies under 6 months be adopted to a home with a resident dog so they learn important life skills and adopter schedule must not leave the puppy alone more than 4 hours.

UPDATE - RESCUED!!!

🚨 URGENT: MAMMY NEEDS A WAY OUT 🚨

This sweet girl is not doing well in the shelter 💔

🐾 Mammy is a beautiful lab/shepherd mix who is overwhelmed by the kennel environment. It’s loud, stressful, and confusing for her — and it shows. She may come off as a little wild right now, but that’s not who she truly is.

✨ Give her a little time, patience, and love, and you’ll see it —
a loyal, cuddly, goofy best friend just waiting to come out.

She doesn’t need a perfect home.
She just needs someone willing to give her a chance to decompress and feel safe.

📍 Livingston County Animal Control – Pontiac, IL

⚠️ Time is critical. Dogs like Mammy struggle the most in shelters.

Please… don’t let her be overlooked.

🚨 URGENT – NEEDS OUT 🚨

Look at this face… those ears, that head tilt 🥺

This sweet pup is sitting in a kennel right now, waiting for someone to notice him.
He looks young, curious, and full of personality—but time in the shelter is stressful, and dogs like him don’t understand why they’re there.

💔 Dogs like this don’t get unlimited time. He needs someone to step up—adopter, foster, or rescue.
