Quote of the Day

"Many of us have to spell words such as "out," "cookie," and "bath" when conversing with other people, lest we unnecessarily excite our pets. And even then they often understand. I've actually had clients who resorted to using a second language around their dogs, but after a while their perceptive pooches caught on. Who says dogs don't understand us?"

Directions to the shelter:

From I-55 take Exit 44 (Illinois Route 138) & go west for 2.6 miles, passing immediately through White City. When you see the sign for Sawyerville, take the next right turn - this is marked "Stewart Avenue", and there is also a bright blue IDOT "Macoupin County Adopt-A-Pet" sign. The shelter is directly ahead on the right - 807 Stewart Avenue. You may also call 217.835.2538 or 217.891.0502 for assistance.

"Finding Rover" is now "Petco Love Lost", a free service provided by the Petco Foundation to help reunite owners with their lost pets. Also, if you have found an animal and wish to locate the owner, you may do so here. Just click on "Lost & Found Pets" at the top of the page. Good luck! 08/09/2022
