Meet Charlette — Friends of Sangamon County Animal Control Dog of the Week

Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center is currently housing a number of dogs in need of loving homes, including senior dogs like Charlette. Charlette, an eight-year-old dog, has had a tough life but remains gentle and affectionate. She is available for both foster and adoption. Charlette is a perfect match for those seeking a calm and peaceful companion. The shelter also has younger, more energetic dogs available for those with different preferences. The Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center is open for visits Monday through Friday from 10:30 AM to 4:15 PM and on Saturday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This story highlights the importance of giving senior dogs like Charlette a second chance at a loving home, aligning with the mission of organizations like Lily's Second Chance.
