Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Say hello to Athena, the Friends of Sangamon County Animal Control Dog of the Week.

Athena is a very pretty, sweet natured girl. She’s a medium sized dog who walks very nicely on a leash and is attentive to our volunteers while spending time outside her kennel. This good girl was surrendered by her owner and has been waiting for over a month to meet a new loving family. Athena is available for adoption, fostering or foster to adopt.

If you would like to meet Athena please come on out to Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center. Hours are Monday-Friday 10:30-4:15 and Saturday 9:00-1:00.

The kennels at SCACAC are completely full of wonderful dogs in need of new homes. We are in need of adopters and fosters. If you’re willing to open your home to help one of the animals in our care, please come to the facility or call 217-535-3065.
