Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Happy holidays from the adoptable pets and volunteers at Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center! Are you looking to add more Christmas joy to your home? Our Dog of the Week may just be the perfect guy for you.

Al is a lovable character who bursts with joy every time he gets to spend time outdoors. He loves spending time in the play yard and had awesome fun frolicking in the snow. Al is a big talker and everyone knows when Al is outside playing when they hear his distinctive voice. He’s a silly boy who carries a toy while he takes his walks. Our volunteers are smitten with him.

Unfortunately Al has been with us since July 23rd when he was surrendered by his owner. So far, no one has even asked to meet him. Our kennels are so full he just keeps getting overlooked. 

Please come on out to Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center to spend time with Al and all of the other adoptable pets. Shelter hours are Monday-Friday 10:30-4:15 and Saturday 9:00-1:00.
