Spaying and neutering
of cats and dogs eliminates unwanted behavior, saves lives because
overpopulation of these animals caused many to get sick and die or are not
adopted and have to be euthanized.
The solution is simple and inexpensive!
All you need to do is call
217 431-0332
to make an appointment.
We are here to help. Call today, do not hesitate.
Shelter workers and volunteers
hear over and over again from people who want to adopt a puppy or a
kitten, "I want a pet who will bond with my family," or "I want a pet who
can grow up with my kids." the truth is that forming a strong connection
with a pet has little to do with the animal's age at the time of
adoption. Here are a few statements made by people who have adopted older
pets:
"I have benefited more from knowing and loving my old pets than I ever
could have imagined."
"When I adopted my first older dog I thought I was doing a good thing by
bringing her home. Who was I kidding? Now I am filled with gratitude to
her for sharing her appreciation for the little joys in life with me. I
have learned many life lessons from knowing, loving and being loved by
these older souls."
More and more animal lovers are finding out that their perfect pet isn't a
puppy or kitten but an adult animal. Their learning just how easy it is
to teach an older pet new tricks - like showing their best friend how to
love again.
As society, we respect and honor those who have lived long lives. And so
it should be for our special animal friends.

I looked at all the caged
animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in
their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And
I was angry. "God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you
do something?" God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly.
"I have done something, " He replied. "I created you."
