My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I am a long-term dog resident here at the Champaign County Humane Society!
What does that mean? It means I have been available for adoption for over 90 days and am more than ready to find my forever home! In fact, the shelter is waiving my adoption fee for any approved applicant. Please stop by the shelter during open hours to visit with me!

Ooh la la, Paris has arrived as CCHS! This gorgeous lady was an amazing mom to her sweet babies, but now that the nest is empty, she's ready for her turn to be babied! Paris loves people and treats, and going on long walks, but her favorite thing in the world is finding a lap to snuggle into. If you're ready for a whole lot of love, kisses, and the most loyal girl in the world, come to CCHS and meet Paris today!

Paris is a STAFF FAVORITE pet! Here's what adoption staff member, Avrohom has to say about her:
Paris is the absolute sweetest dog you will ever meet! I am always so happy to take her out and see her, she gives so much love. She is a shy girl to new people, but when she gets to know you there is nobody like her. Paris has been here long enough to have her adoption fee waived and we all just know she will be perfect for a home. She does not have a mean bone in her body, just a little uncertainty. When you see her affection like I have there is no chance you will not want to take her home, so come in and visit with her!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

■ Our adoption program is for individuals and families seeking a pet to live indoors and provide companionship.
■ You must be 18 years of age or older to adopt an animal.
■ We recommend that all household members meet the animal during the adoption process. In some cases, we will make this a requirement.
■ If you rent or lease your home, we require written or verbal approval from your landlord before you adopt a pet.
■ If you currently own animals, making sure your pets are up-to-date on vaccinations and care can help expedite the adoption process.
■ All cats, dogs and rabbits will be spayed or neutered prior to adoption.
■ Animals must be taken to a veterinarian for a health exam within one week after adoption.
■ If you are in the process of moving, we recommend you delay adoption of an adult cat or dog until after you are settled in your new home.
■ We do not adopt animals as gifts or presents.
■ If you are interested in adopting a large dog (over 40 pounds), we suggest a fenced-in yard.
■ If, at any time, you can no longer care for your pet, you are welcome to return the pet to CCHS.
■ CCHS reserves the right to refuse any adoption.
■ It is the law in Champaign-Urbana and in most outlying townships in East Central Illinois that dogs be either confined or on a leash at all times.
