Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Introducing Dream, our Friends of Sangamon County Animal Control Dog of the Week.

Dream is one of our long timers at Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center and unfortunately this is not the first time she’s spent time with us. She has been impounded a few times in the past before coming in as a stray.

Dream is a very nice girl who deserves a home with people who want her. She’s five years old and is sweet natured and loving. Our volunteers say she walks nicely on a leash and is gentle and attentive to her human friends. We are looking for a permanent home for Dream where she will be appreciated for being a wonderful part of a family.

You can meet Dream and all of the other adoptable pets at Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center during shelter hours Monday-Friday 10:30-4:15 and Saturday 9:00-1:00.
