​Quote of the Day

"Every time I told my cocker spaniel, Taffy, my very first dog, that we were going for a walk, she would launch into a celebratory dance that ended with her racing around the room, always clockwise, and faster and faster, as if her joy could not be possibly contained. Even as a young boy I knew that hardly any creature could express joy so vividly as a dog."

Photo of the Week
 Gib has found his forever home
Gib, a Corgi born in August 2022, has found his forever home with a nice family. Though he is very sweet, Gib requires a home without children or cats and must have a fenced yard. Gib does love to be petted on his terms and in true Corgi fashion, he will let you know when he has had enough.

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

NOTE:  if you haven't already done so, you should enter this number on your phone, so that you will always have it in event of  an emergency.  It could save your pet's life!
