Story
Meet Missy — a Beautiful Senior Girl With a Gentle Soul Missy is a sweet, gentle senior who still has a little pep in her shaky steps. She is an 11 year old Labrador Retriever Mix.  She was all smiles and happiness when I met her, showing just how much joy she carries in her heart. She’s reported to be good with kids, cats, and dogs, making her a wonderful fit for many types of homes. Slick floors can be tough on her legs, so she’ll thrive in a space with secure footing and a family who can help her stay steady and comfortable. Missy is also looking for a home committed to helping her reach a healthy weight. With patience, care, and a soft place to land, she’ll blossom even more. If you’re looking for a kind, gentle companion who radiates sweetness and still has a spark in her step, Missy might be the perfect senior girl to welcome into your life. Her minimum adoption fee is $200 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Meet Wakko, the last of the Animaniacs looking for a forever home! Estimated to be born June 4, 2026, Wakko has grown into a handsome 20-pound pup and is officially a true All American dog. DNA testing revealed 17 breeds in his mix, with Boxer, Australian Shepherd, Staffordshire Terrier, German Shepherd, and Labrador Retriever rounding out his top five. Wakko is the whole package: silly, sweet, smart, playful, and incredibly affectionate. He loves romping around the yard, chasing a ball, and searching out every stick he can find. When he's ready for a break, he'll happily climb into his foster mama's lap and soak up the cool fall air. He's definitely not too busy having fun to stop for some snuggles. One of Wakko's greatest qualities is how wonderful he is with other dogs. He's surprisingly good at reading them for such a young dog and is very respectful of the two older dogs in his foster home. Since they aren't interested in playing with him, Wakko simply entertains himself and goes about his business. He recently attended his first adoption event and did wonderfully with everyone he met, including dogs of all ages and sizes, and kids. He seems to genuinely enjoy children and was especially gentle with them. At home, Wakko can get vocal when he knows you're there and moving around, so a home without shared walls would be best for him. At bedtime, though, he settles right down and sleeps like an angel in his puppy cabana. Wakko is food motivated and eager to learn, so continued work on his training should be a fun experience for both him and his new family. His foster mama says that if it were a different time in her life, he would stay forever. That's quite the endorsement for a dog who has managed to charm everyone from his canine foster siblings to the kids he met at his first adoption event. Now this wonderful boy just needs someone to give him the forever home he's been waiting for! His minimum adoption fee is $350 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

All Pet Central Helps animals are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, microchipped (registration included), and current on parasite prevention. Dogs over six-months of age are heartworm tested. When adopting, we will ensure that you receive copies of veterinary and microchip records. Records are sent via email. Paper versions are available upon request. If you are interested in this pet, please fill out the brief Adopter Survey by hitting "Apply for Adoption" on the profile above. After we review your completed survey, we will contact you by phone or email within three business days. Please note- Out of respect for our volunteers and staff, we are closed on Sunday and Monday and will not be processing any applications on those days. Please get back to us right away when we call or email regarding an application so that we can quickly connect using the process below: Select a pet and submit an online adoption survey. A PCH! adoption counselor will contact potential adopters within three business days (PCH! cannot guarantee any pet's availability, but we make every effort to accommodate adopters with a reply and possible alternative suggestions). An adoption counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents). After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy. (below) The PCH! adoption counselor will then set up a specific appointment time and location. Adopters should bring a pet carrier and/or a leash to pick up and their ID. Adult pets will be wearing a collar. It is important that clients arrive on time, neither early nor late. Cats and kittens are required to leave in a pet carrier. If your adoption is scheduled at Pet Central Helps!: Upon arrival inside the Crossroads Center complex (360 Wylie Drive), look for the black Pet Central Helps! semi-trailer, which is right outside of our facility (Suite 720). Park in the parking lot and enter the facility. A PCH! representative will greet you and show you to the adoption room. Your new pet will be handed to you. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family. If your adoption is scheduled at PetSmart – Bloomington, IL: Park in the PetSmart (1606 E. Empire St.) Parking lot and enter the store. We will be set up just inside the store entrance. Let us know you are here to pick up your pet! A PCH! representative will confirm your information and hand you your pet. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family. If your adoption is scheduled at the Cat’s Meow Cafe: Navigate to PetSmart, park in the parking lot and enter the store. Locate a PCH! Representative at our adoption table and let them know you are picking up a Cat Cafe Cat. You will sign your final contract with your counselor and snap a picture of the completed screen. Head to the Cat’s Meow Cafe at 507 N. Hershey Rd and provide them with the snapshot of your final contract. They will get your cat and take a “Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family. PCH! supports a 30-day no-fault return policy in which adopters are given the opportunity to find a better match. If we cannot provide advice/tools to keep a pet in the home we offer these options: Exchange for a pet that may be a better match** Receive a refund minus a $40 processing fee** With this approach, we can often turn mismatches into opportunities! Thank you, Pet Central Helps!
