Story
Archie was an unclaimed stray saved from our local pound. He is fun and goofy...LOVES to play with his ball and (in warm weather) splash in his baby pool. He's good in the house and not destructive - but he has a serious mistrust of strangers. He will warm up to them after a session of ball throwing - but would need to be heavily managed at first. He'd be a great companion and protector for a woman. For more information - call or text 217-473-9044; or email scottcountydogrescue@gmail.com.

Story
Sarge is an awesome boy...well mannered and well socialized. NO CATS! Best with older kids as he sometimes gets so excited - he could knock a little one over accidentally (but then rushes to lick furiously to apologize). For consideration - request an application at scottcountydogrescue@gmail.com

Story
Looking for a new best friend?? Look no further!!Richie is still available for adoption!! 💙Richie is a 10 month old male bull terrier mix, he is full grown and only about 40 pounds.Richie has spent almost his entire life in shelters. We took him in from another shelter who was going to euthanize him because no one was interested in adopting him. He has also beaten parvo as a young pup at his previous shelter. Richie is resilient and keeps his heart open. He loves people of all ages. He struggles at times with other animals because of how long he’s spent in shelters but he is making great progress. Richie is looking for some big hearted person who will give him all the love and snuggles he needs. Richie loves to tug and has the best zoomies. 🐾
