CNB of Carlinville gives shelter a boost

During the month of April, CNB Bank & Trust of Carlinville held a donation pet drive! We are so grateful to have such a giving community of animal lovers. Shelter Manager, Olivia, and Kennel Technician Allison were accompanied by four legged friends, Bashful (puppy), Allison & Madison (kittens) to pick up their new goodies. Bashful, Allison & Madison were big fans of all the snuggles they got and the staff enjoyed a furry friend break. Thank you to all who were involved in putting together the donation drive as well as to each person that donated creating such a large haul of supplies!

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 Road", and there is also a bright blue IDOT "Macoupin County Adopt-A-Pet" sign.  The shelter is directly ahead on the right - 807 Stewart Road.  (Sketch below not to scale)

"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
