Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – The kennels at Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center are completely full. Some dogs have been waiting for months to meet their new families. More dogs arrive every day that need kennel space. We are asking anyone who is thinking about adding a dog to their family to come meet some of the very nice long timers at SCACAC.

Angus has been waiting to meet his new family since August. This big boy is sweet and well behaved. He’s about two years old. Angus is a friendly boy who is attentive to his handler and sits nicely. He’s ready to leave kennel life behind and start a new life of love and affection.

Angus is available for foster, foster to adopt, and adoption. FOR A LIMITED TIME ADOPTION FEE IS REDUCED TO $25! You can meet Angus and the other adoptable dogs during shelter hours Monday-Friday 10:30-4:15 and Saturday 9:00-1:00.
