Barely Used Pets (dog)
Meet sweet Billy, a 5-year-old Jack Russell Terrier who came to us as an owner surrender. He was a very loved dog, but after his living situation changed he became a little jealous. Billy is a great dog and loves everyone! He loves to go for car rides. His owner was a truck driver for most of the time he had Billy, so he has traveled all over the U.S. He gets along with other dogs and loves to play. He will do best in a home with no small children. He is scheduled to be neutered and is up to date on his vaccinations. His adoption fee is $150.

Champaign County Animal Welfare League (dog)
Nacho is a one-year-old Chihuahua who is an owner surrender through no fault of his. He is very outgoing, loving and fun. Nacho knows some commands, does well with other dogs and performs a riveting, happy dance when he sees you. We are not sure how he is with cats, but we will happily cat-test him if requested. Nacho’s brother was adopted last week, so Nacho is anxiously looking for his forever home, too, where he can be spoiled and loved. He is neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, on flea and heart-worm prevention and current on vaccinations.
