Story
Millie aka Potato aka Loaf aka Butterball is the most wonderful girl. She walks perfect on and off leash, does not mess in her kennel and does not show any interest in cats. She doesn’t beg food from kids and she gets along well with calm dogs. Millie was reported to have been thrown from a car and left on the side of the road and we just can’t figure out why. Millie desperately needs a diet and some walks. Come down to Macoupin County Animal control and give her a few squeezes and possibly take her home. Our hours are Weekdays 10-2, closed Tuesday, and Saturday 8-12

Story
We rescued our sweet black Lab over a year ago, and she is now 2 years old. She is a loving, loyal, and affectionate dog who deserves a family with more time to spend with her. Unfortunately, our work schedules have changed, and between the two of us we work over 100 hours a week. We simply can’t give her the attention, exercise, and companionship she deserves. She is friendly, playful, and loves being around people. She would thrive in a home where someone is around more often, has time for walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. This has been a very difficult decision because we love her, but we know finding her a home where she can get the time and attention she deserves is what’s best for her. We are looking for a loving forever home that will treat her like family and give her the happy, active life she deserves.

Story
Hi. My name is Macy and I am a large girl. I weigh approximately 100 pounds. I am a mix of reat Pyrenees/Newfoundland/Border Collie/Australian Cattle Dog. I was adopted 6 years ago and have been a perfect dog for my dad but life changed and now there are children in the house. I love them one-on-one but when they get noisy, I get nervous. My people fell it would be best for me to be back in a childless home, or with older children. If you are looking for a big, beautiful girl to love, that’s me. Help me find a quieter forever home. My adoption fee is $150. If you are interested in Macy, please visit www.pawscare.org, and click on the online application. We require the application to be filled out and approved prior to meeting her as all of our animals are in private foster homes. Please fill out all information as we cannot process incomplete applications. A phone number for your veterinarian is a must. We CANNOT process your application without a vet phone number.

Story
Lily is a very loving, hyper girl. I got her as a puppy from a no harm shelter. The place I’m living won’t allow her to come inside and I’m moving very soon, so the place I’m moving to won’t allow me to bring her. She needs a home that will show her lots of love and attention. She hasn’t been around other animals, so I don’t know how she will be around them, she is hyper and jumps on kids, but doesn’t try to hurt them. She just wants to play.
