Update: 9/9:
Holly had a great time at the Woofstock event meeting all the other dogs and humans. She was very popular and people loved her smile. She is a totally different dog outside of animal control. It really shows we need foster homes to help these animals get adopted. She walked up to everyone and had no problems with the other dogs.
Holly is looking for a foster or adopter.
She came in as a stray. No one claimed her. She is a young terrier mix. Looks like she had babies a few months ago. She was found in a popular Dumping Ground by an individual that brought her to animal control. She has been at animal control since the 4th of August and needs out ASAP!!! She is only around a year old. She has a lot of energy and loves to run and play. She appears to be potty trained. She only goes to the bathroom in her outside kennel. She can be extremely excited around other dogs. She would need to be introduced slowly.

Most of the animals listed on here are in foster homes, but some are still residing at the Granite City Animal Control until they can be adopted or there is a foster home opening.
Pound Pets Inc Rescue can always use more fosters.

Pound Pets volunteers cleans the animal control building, we are the caregivers for the animals brought in. Once they come through the door, they become our responsibility. We photograph all animals and post to the Pound Pets Facebook page. We provide them clean kennels, beds, blankets, toys, treats, outside play time, walks and human interaction. We try to comfort the scared, keep the high-energy ones exercised and provide plenty of love and affection to make their time at animal control as less stressful as possible.
Sometimes they get reclaimed by their families and sometimes they don't. If they don't it is our responsibility to find the adopters, fosters or rescues to save them from euthanasia.
We get in sick and injured animals as well. They do not sit in their kennels or cages needing veterinary care. Once we see the need for care they are taken to the vet. Sometimes the illness or injury is minor and the city will cover the bill, Other times when it's not, we do. We do all of this on our own dime. We buy the food, the beds, the blankets, the toys, and all the other things that go into care for the animals. Sometimes things are donated and that is wonderful!! We pay the medical bills that the city doesn't. As with most animal controls, there is a limit on what they will do or cover. At Pound Pets, there is no limit. Broken Bones, Surgery, Parvo, Heartworm, etc., if the animal has a chance the animal is given that chance. This is not a shelter but an animal control.
