Illinois Humane Society and Animal Shelters
Adopt a Dog Pound Dog
Schuyler County Humane Society
At the time we are trying to build a shelter. I foster as many animals as
I can, but too many are being put to sleep. We need help with fosters or
places to send our dogs and cats. They are great pets and need wonderful
homes. I am the only one who will foster a litter of puppies and kittens.
I am full at my home. But there are a lot of wonderful older dogs being
held at the pound in our county at this time with no shelter of our own.
We are working out of the pound. I would love to have a way to help get
more pets out of the pound. Rushville ,IL.
