Story
I adopted Maddie from a shelter approximately 3 years ago. Maddie came to me when she was 1 and the shelter told me her and her sister were locked in a bedroom for the first year of their lives. Maddie is the sweetest girl ever. She loves to lay in bed all day. The only issue that I have yet to break from her is going potty in my house. There is no rhythm or reason to it. She can literally go outside and use the bathroom then come back in and potty. She has no medical issues but appears to be behavioral. If she is in my bedroom with the doors closed with me in bed, she will not potty inside. She has been through a lot in her life but is the perfect pet! She needs someone that can work with her behavioral issues.

Story
Meet Shrek, the one-year-old, tail-wagging, male Pitbull Terrier mix ready to steal your heart at CCHS! This lovable goofball has made a few pit stops with us, starting off as a transfer from Animal Control and returning most recently because his last family couldn't keep up with his playful antics. He's a bit of a food hoarder around other dogs, so he'd be the king of the castle as your one and only pup. Bursting with puppy energy and ready to romp, Shrek is just waiting for someone to come by, give him a belly rub, and say, "You're coming home with me!"

Story
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! Meet Nova, the one-year-old Pitbull Terrier mix, ready to steal your heart at CCHS! While she's not exactly a social butterfly with other pets, she shines as the solo star of the show. Bursting with energy, she might be a bit bashful at first, but once she snuggles up to you, get ready for some serious affection! If Nova has caught your eye, swing by CCHS for a meet-and-greet with this lovable pup!

Story
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!
