We're selling 5 gallon buckets of detergent and buckets of 300 pods for a fundraiser for the Shelter vet bills - you can buy the detergent from our fundraiser and donate to this local cause - it would be a great way to support both charities! ❤ We can even deliver! 🙂Link to the fundraiser will be in the comments.

Our free laundry service is in need of laundry soap donations! This small but essential item helps us continue serving individuals and families in need. If you’re able to help, we would greatly appreciate your support. Together, we can keep this service going strong!

Update: Tank and Diesel have found their furever home!!!! And we possibly have something in the works for Beretta but it’s not 100% yet….Well this is probably going to upset several people and will be the talk of GC for awhile but I don’t know what else to do!!! We have called I can’t even begin to tell you how many rescues and everyone is full…which I get!! I cannot take them home, I have 6 dogs, 5 of which were brought home from the shelter. Nicole has 6 dogs and 3 were taken home from the shelter. Billy cannot as he has 3 dogs already and is a single father with very busy children schedules.
So with ALL that said…they have
****10 DAYS**** to be adopted or I will have to face the reality. We have less than 6 bags of food, that won’t go far enough. We have bills that we cannot pay so also in 10 days ALL utilities will be shut off. Have had to have electricity to see to clean, and obviously need water to clean and water the 3 remaining dogs.

I DO NOT WANT TO DO This BUT I HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS!!!! I repeat I do not want to do this and it will haunt me till the day I die!!!

I cannot ask my husband to foot more dog food and pay more bills than what we already have to do at the shelter now because we just aren’t getting donations anymore. I cannot ask Billy B. to continue to go there everyday, pack water, and use a flash light to clean.

In reality: these three are NOT getting the socialization they need, long enough to clean, feed, and let outside (just long enough to clean their kennels) we have two kennels, doesn’t take long. . What an unfair life for these three! (And I am not talking badly about anyone, lives have gotten busy since April 1st!)

We have called I think every rescue in Illinois, surrounding states (I’m sure I missed some rescues), Tennessee, and even as far as Oregon.

Please tag rescues that you KNOW can take them and or anyone interested in adopting please text/call me!!! Leave a message bc I don’t answer calls I don’t know-too many spam calls. 217-371-0278

All three are FULLY vetted and adoption fees are completely PAID for!!!

Please we are begging!!!! They cannot stay at the shelter! We have closed our doors and funds have stopped coming in! I don’t even know how we are going to pay our final bills. $500 city bill, $300 Ameren bill….
