Vermilion County
Spaying and
neutering of cats and dogs eliminates unwanted behavior,
saves lives because overpopulation of these animals caused
many to get sick and die or are not adopted and have to be
euthanized.
The solution is simple and inexpensive!
All you need to do is call
217 431-0332
to make an appointment.
We are here to help. Call today, do not hesitate.
Shelter workers and volunteers hear over and over again from
people who want to adopt a puppy or a kitten, "I want a pet
who will bond with my family," or "I want a pet who can grow
up with my kids." the truth is that forming a strong
connection with a pet has little to do with the animal's age
at the time of adoption. Here are a few statements made by
people who have adopted older pets:
"I have benefited more from knowing and loving my old pets
than I ever could have imagined."
"When I adopted my first older dog I thought I was doing a
good thing by bringing her home. Who was I kidding? Now I
am filled with gratitude to her for sharing her appreciation
for the little joys in life with me. I have learned many
life lessons from knowing, loving and being loved by these
older souls."
More and more animal lovers are finding out that their
perfect pet isn't a puppy or kitten but an adult animal.
Their learning just how easy it is to teach an older pet new
tricks - like showing their best friend how to love again.
As society, we respect and honor those who have lived long
lives. And so it should be for our special animal friends.
