Story
We adopted Juniper several years ago from a shelter. She’s a very high energetic dog and needs lots of exercise and room to run. She is also very affectionate and loves to cuddle. She would do best in a home that had plenty of space and someone who can spend time with her so she can get exercise. She does best with older kids due to her strength and energy level.We’re unsure of her breed. We were told Lab Shar Pei mix but we think she’s Lab Vizsla mix due to her high energy and hunting dog tendencies.

Story
He's a pitbull not pitski pitbull wasn't a choice under breed he loves walks scared of thunderstorms loves car rides likes to sleep under blanket but will go back and forth between bed floor other furniture not completely sure how he is with other dogs do know he's fine with them when they aren't in his territory he's protective of anyone especially when it comes to fighting doesn't matter if it's play fighting he doesn't like it and will protect someone he does ok with kids he doesn't realize he's bigger than them and can hurt them he loves to play he would benefit in a active loving home with a big yard and being the only dog in the house he's not very fond of cats he hasn't had a good interaction with them so a home where he's the only animal would be the best for him he's very loving energetic he needs a home where he gets attention all the time and loved unconditionally

Story
Wolf is a sweet, smart, active dog. She will be 3 years old on Dec 25, 2026. I have had her since she was 6 weeks old. She’s great with my other 2 dogs, good with older children, but does not like cats. Or squirrels! I was gifted this dog but have never really been able to spend the time with her that she requires to live a full happy life due to my own special needs children. She’s current on shots and spayed. Potty trained, crate trained, knows basic commands. HIGHLY food motivated, she loves cheese! She needs someone who is able to take her on long walks daily, throw the tennis ball outside with her, and allow her to grow into the brilliant beautiful happy dog that she truly is!

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
