A very important reminder! Even if you keep your air conditioner running - it doesn’t always blow cool air the entire time! Thank you!

UPDATE: we’ve had so many wonderful families interested in meeting this sweet boy! He is meeting a special family this evening! I will keep everyone updated!

Family and friends – let’s see if we can help find this sweet boy his furever home! He was found yesterday roaming the streets in Rockford. Some absolutely wonderful people stopped and he came running right to them and jumped in their car! He was a little dirty, a little thin and a little scared - but he was as sweet as could be and thanked them all with tons of kisses and big tail wags! They drove around for a bit and actually found the owners, who sadly proclaimed that they no longer wanted him and that the rescuers could just keep him. Today he was brought to the vet and was given his rabies shots. The vet said that other than being under weight, he’s about 45 pounds right now, he’s actually in really good health. He is not microchipped. The vet believes he is about a year old. We’ve learned in just a short time that he would do best in a home where he would be the only dog. He is potty trained, as he has told his rescuers every time he needs to go potty and has not had any accidents in the house. We believe he is a pitbull mix. We will be happy to bring him to anyone who would like to meet him. The Shields Animal Shelter Foundation will help with a donation to get things started - we will cover the cost of neutering, microchipping and any additional vaccines that may be needed.
