month might be a national movement, but our friends at Serra Subaru Champaign are committed to keeping their support local! We are so grateful that they are year-round champions for pets; CCHS could not do our work without them!

Some animals, like Clover, need time, space, and patience. She's a 9-year-old cat who loves naps, being read to, and soft, cozy hideaways, but her shyness means she doesn't always stand out at the shelter. Today we wanted to highlight this sweet girl, who will be at CCHS as long as it takes to find her perfect family. Because of community supporters like Serra Subaru, we are empowered to make sure Clover, and all of our pets, have their best chance at adoption.

Our friends at Serra Subaru Champaign really love pets! Every October they celebrate the cats, dogs, and critters in our care for month! 🧡🧡🧡🧡 With their support, we can care for hundreds of animals as they wait for their families.

Animals like Riley (female long-haired calico) and Rajah (male gray)! You may have seen this beautiful, bonded pair of cats on our social media before. They are looking for a family who can love each of them for their very different personalities. And thanks to community leaders like Serra Subaru, we can keep looking for their perfect fit!

Diamond is a gorgeous, highly intelligent 4-year-old German Shepherd.

She has an even temperament and a wonderful personality. Staff note that she is so smart she could easily be trained in exchange for some delicious treats of course! She is people-oriented, energetic, friendly, confident, and loves to play fetch or learn new tricks for treats. Her favorite past time is to chew on bones while her human watches their favorite shows.

Diamond must go to a home where she is the only dog, as she does not like sharing her space with other canine friends. She has a positive history of doing well with children as young as 6 years old and up. Diamond has never lived with cats, so we are unsure how she would feel about sharing a space with them.

If you are interested in adopting Diamond, stop in and as our front desk staff to meet with her!

3 year old Nana is a very sweet, vocal, and curious little girl who is ready to find her forever home!

She loves to cuddle up when it's time to sleep, and once she gets comfortable and recognizes your scent, she turns into a wonderfully playful companion. Additionally, Nana loves to be doted on with all of the affection you can give her, and she returns it all!

Nana has a positive history of doing well with children as young as 2 years old and up. She has never been around a dog, so they remain a mystery to her. She did live with other cats, but we are unsure how that relationship was.

If you are interested in adopting Nana, stop in and ask our front desk staff about Nana!

What better way to celebrate National Make A Dog’s Day than by meeting a dog in need? CCHS and Serra Subaru Champaign want you to make today a pet's best day ever by giving them a loving home.

Consider Kahlifa. 4-year-old Kahlifa is very sweet but also shy upon first meeting new people. She did great in her previous home with children of all ages as well as other dogs! We don't know her behavior with cats, as she doesn't have a history of being around them. Kahlifa has been working hard on her basic manners skills and would benefit to continue her work in her new home. Some of her favorite things are going on walks to soak up the sunrays and playing with various kinds of toys! Will she be your new adventure body?

Subaru’s 8th annual National Make A Dog’s Day is all about doing something extra special for your pet. Serra Subaru Champaign wants to know: how are you celebrating with the dog in your life? Let us know in the comments down below.

Or, are you ready to welcome a dog into your home? If so, meet Roxie!

4-year-old Roxie is the definition of a loyal companion looking for her next great adventure! Not only is Roxie a very gorgeous girl, but she is also a sweetheart who gets along well with kids as young as 6 years old and up, making her a wonderful potential addition for a family looking for an affectionate and active dog. Roxie would love to go on walks with the family or play a good game of fetch at a park or in your backyard! Because she prefers to soak up all of your love and attention for herself, Roxie is looking for a home where she can be the only pet.
