Perfect dog was at humane society

We decided we wanted a calm, medium-sized, short-haired, light-colored adult dog that was housebroken. We searched for these specifics for several months, then just dropped by the Champaign County Humane Society to check a possible dog, and the perfect dog was waiting for us there.

The staff was helpful, the cages were clean, the animals were exercised and notes were on their cages indicating who was housebroken so they could be taken out regularly to maintain this good habit. We were provided with a leash and a treat and encouraged to take him out and get to know him.

We brought our new buddy home 24 hours later with a health folder, bag of food, his leash and coupons for a free checkup and other items. He is the best dog in the world. He rarely barks, is very calm and does not chase my cats. He's good on the leash, loves to walk and ride in the car and never has an accident. He is very smart and just wants to be with us.

My family is so thankful to the humane society for providing a home for my special dog so we could find him, love him and soak up his love for us. Everyone looking for love needs to go rescue an animal and incorporate them into their lives, and let the happiness shower over them. It's a cheap antidepressant.
