🐾 Ruh-roh! DCAS joined the fun at yesterday’s Broomcorn Festival Parade with a Scooby-Doo theme! 🔍🐶

Our crew had a wonderful time representing the shelter, seeing so many familiar faces and sharing plenty of smiles along the parade route. Thank you to everyone who participated, helped with our entry and cheered us on!

Scooby-Doo and the gang may solve mysteries—but there’s no mystery about how much we love our shelter animals and this community! 💙🐾

🐾 How is this gorgeous girl still waiting? 🐾

Samantha is approximately 3 years old and has the most stunning green eyes! 💚 She is an incredibly sweet girl who loves everyone she meets and would love a family of her very own.

Samantha may be a little hissy with other cats at first, but once she has time to settle in and adjust, she does just fine with them. She simply needs a little patience—and plenty of love! 🐱

Come meet Samantha and see for yourself just how special she is! For more information, please call the Douglas County Animal Shelter at 217-253-4921 during open hours.

Please share and help this gorgeous gal find her forever home! 🏡🐾

🐾 Oakley Is Back at DCAS—and Still Looking for His Forever Home! 🐾

Oakley recently went on a home trial, but unfortunately, their small fence was no match for his jumping skills! Because they couldn’t safely keep him contained, Oakley has returned to the shelter.

The trial did give us some wonderful information about him:

❤️ He did great with the children
🏡 He had no accidents in the house
🐶 He enjoyed being part of a family

Oakley will need a home with a tall, secure fence or a family committed to keeping him safely leashed outdoors. He will turn 4 in November, and his adoption fee is fully sponsored with an approved application—which means he can be adopted for free!

Please share and help Oakley find the safe, loving home he deserves. To learn more or schedule a time to meet him, call DCAS at 217-253-4921 during open hours.
