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
Hi, I’m Kronk. I’m very loving and I love to cuddle. I can be very hyper. I need someone who is good at training me, and someone with patience. I need someone with a lot of energy, and it would be a bonus to have another hyper dog to play with if they were to get along. I need a yard to run in. I can be difficult on walks, and require constant attention to surroundings. If I get within 40-50 feet of another dog I’ll get hyper. I’m good at staying on my place when my owner eats dinner. It can be a challenge introducing new males in the house, but I’m better if the new person gives me treats. I like to bark a lot!! I don’t do well with being crated. I am fine in the house, up to 8 hours. I can be a really great dog given the right care. My owner just had some big life changes and is too busy to give me the love and attention I need.

Story
My mom adopted me from Gateway Guardians shelter in East St Louis in April of 2024 when I was just a tiny baby! I was born on February 17, 2024. My life has been good - my mom works from home, I sleep with her every night and she's never really away from home. I live with a 7 year old cat and we get along just fine, though I'm always wanting him to play and he doesn't want to. I'm pretty quiet, but if someone knocks on the door I'm gonna let you know! I'm a seasoned pro when it comes to going potty outside and I do stay in the crate if mom is gone for more than a couple hours. I don't know any strangers and I absolutely adore every human I meet - even my apartment neighbors love to bring me treats! I'm really strong - a little stubborn - and I'd rather be snuggling than doing anything else. My mom is moving and cannot take me with her, so I really need to find a good home in order to avoid going back into a shelter!
