My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Grumpy!! Grumpy is around 2-3 years old, weighing around 58 pounds, and entered our shelter as an owner surrender.

Grumpy comes off timid and standoff-ish when introduced to new people but once she warms up, she is a very playful girl who has such a spunky personality. She is in favor of women more than men, so we ask that potential adopters keep in mind that she will need an adjusting period. She would require a thorough meet and greet with other dogs but is friendly with cats. Grumpy is spayed, current on vaccinations, and microchipped.

If you have any further questions regarding Grumpy or are interested in setting up a scheduled meet & greet, please contact Erin at (309)-368-0669.

You could also view her during our adoption and viewing hours which are the following: Monday-Saturday 12-5pm and Sunday 12-3pm. We are located at 1855 Windish Dr. Galesburg, IL 61401.

Additional adoption info

We have a small adoption contract that is very simple to fill out. Anyone wanting to adopt an animal must be 21 or older and have a valid ID with them. The contract just states that the person adopting the animal will take good care of them, make sure they're up to date on heath related items, and other agreements that can be properly read when the person comes in. We will also work with reduced fees for the adoption if possible.
