Barely Used Pets (dog)
Meet Sparky, a 5-year-old Jack Russell/Chihuahua Mix. He came to us as an owner surrender due to no fault of his own. He’s such a sweet boy and he so badly wants love. He does not always like to be picked up, but he does love being in your lap. He would do best in a home with no small children. Sparky is house-trained and he loves going on little walks. He is micro chipped, scheduled to be neutered, and he is up to date on his vaccinations. His adoption fee is $150.

Champaign County Animal Welfare League (dog)
Spice, rescued from a puppy mill, is a 7- to 9-year-old Cocker Spaniel, sweet but shy. Spice enjoys playing with kitties and hanging out with them, and she is dog-friendly. She isn’t house-broken, but would catch on quickly. Spice requires a fenced-in yard. At this time in her life, if she got loose, she wouldn’t know to come to her name. She has been spayed, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, and is current on flea and heart-worm prevention and vaccinations.
