Meet Hanna, the delightful nine-year-old pit bull mix who adores nothing more than curling up for a cozy nap. She's honed the art of being housebroken and brings an abundance of warmth and affection to any home lucky enough to have her. Hanna's enthusiasm for our doggy day out program shines through as she eagerly jumps into cars, reveling in the excitement of new adventures. While she thrives on human companionship, Hanna would prefer a tranquil household without children or other pets. She's happiest in a serene environment where she can bask in the love and attention of her humans. If you're seeking a devoted companion for leisurely strolls, quiet evenings by the fire, and the occasional car ride to explore, Hanna is the perfect match.

More about this shelter
For over 60 years, the Animal Protective League has been the voice for animals in Springfield and Sangamon County. APL operates a limited admission animal shelter and a high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter clinic along with comprehensive animal-welfare programs. APL is a private, not-for-profit organization and operates primarily by donations.
APL's limited admission animal shelter prioritizes intake by sick, injured, abused and abandoned dogs and cats. APL strives to match animals with carefully screened, loving, permanent owners. All animals leave our shelter spayed or neutered, microchipped, and with all age appropriate vaccinations. Over 2000 deserving dogs and cats are placed in homes every year! APL also has an active group of foster families who provide interim homes until space is available at our shelter.
APL's Spay/neuter clinic performs over 12,000 spay/neuter surgeries every year. In addition to the public, we work with other animal shelters, animal control agencies and animal welfare groups within a 30-mile radius of Springfield. Our free transport system picks up animals from various locations and transports them to our facility for surgery and then returns the animals the following day. This allows many other organizations to have access to low-cost spay/neuter services for their own animals as well as animals in their communities. We currently work with 31 partners in 18 surrounding counties.
