More Blue Dots at http://morebluedots.blogspot.com
At More Blue Dots, CCHS Director shares stories and reflections (and sometimes “rants”) from the front lines of animal shelter work. Wondering about the title? We put a round blue sticker on the cage cards of the animals when there's been an application to adopt them. For us, the blue dot has become a symbol of hope, second chances, and compassion.

Unlucky PuppiesThe Champaign County Humane Society is deeply disappointed that puppies are once again being sold at a retail store in our community.  Because there are homeless pets awaiting adoption in virtually every community in central Illinois, we strongly advocate that persons wishing to acquire a pet consider adopting one from a shelter or other source of homeless animals.  Those who are committed to acquiring a specific breed of animal should locate a breed rescue group or responsible breeder.  The Champaign County Humane Society does not support purchasing or otherwise acquiring animals from large-scale commercial breeders or the retail outlets they supply. For more information from other local and national groups, how you can help, and what to do if you're interested in a purebred dog, click here.
