Humane Society of

Monroe County, Illinois

Please, please...Will you help us??

Our mother & one of our littermates was shot along the roadside. We were probably all supposed to be killed but the horrible person doing this may have spotted an oncoming car and left the scene. We were picked up by a passerby and taken to the pound. The good news is that we are alive (not to mention how cute and sweet we are; we have those darling little faces that you can't stop kissing!) and were rescued from the pound by HSMC. The bad news is that we have a skin condition, sarcoptic mange, that needed immediate attention. We were hospitalized for 48 hours & started on our treatment...thank goodness because we were so miserable. We are now in foster care and soon will be ready for adoption! There are 6 of us and the treatment is very expensive. Can you please help with our medical expenses; we have to take special meds for a total of 4 weeks. We are orphans, you know, and could really use your help!

We are the CUTEST puppies and have awesome personalities; we are very friendly and social!

If you would please help pay for our treatment by sending a tax deductible donation we would so appreciate it!

We will see you soon at adoption events! If you don't want to miss out on getting one of us, it’s not too early to send in an application. Just print an application form to scan or mail in. Our current weights range from 13 and 21 pounds; we are 15 weeks old. We will be medium size dogs as grown-ups!
