Meet Ellie — Friends of Sangamon County Animal Control Dog of the Week

Ellie, a sweet and well-behaved young dog, is the latest highlight from Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center. About a year old, Ellie has been waiting for a new family for over a month. She came into the shelter as a confiscation but is eager to find a loving home. Ellie walks nicely on a leash and responds well to commands, making her a great candidate for adoption or fostering. Those interested in giving Ellie a fresh start can visit the shelter at 2100 Shale St., Springfield, IL, during their hours: Monday-Friday from 10:30 AM to 4:15 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Ellie's story is a perfect reminder of the many wonderful dogs available for adoption, ready to bring joy and companionship into your life.
