SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Our Friends of Sangamon County Animal Control Dog of the Week has unfortunately been living in a kennel since the beginning of July. She really needs someone to meet her and give her a chance at a good life.

River is one year old and she has a beautiful chocolate brown coat. She does not make a good first impression when you meet her in her kennel because she acts wild and wants to get out. Once she gets outside she has energy to burn and loves to walk and play in the play yard. She has done well in playgroups with other dogs and our behaviorist says she’s dog social. River is available for foster and adoption.

The kennels at Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center are full and we need space for more dogs. Will you please consider helping a dog in need by fostering or adopting? You can meet the dogs during shelter hours Monday-Friday 10:30-4:15 and Saturday 9:00-1:00. The shelter is located at 2100 Shale St in Springfield IL.
