Meet Ghotti – Friends of Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center Dog of the Week

Ghotti is very stressed from living in a kennel so long and he makes a terrible first impression if you meet him in his kennel. Once he’s out of the kennel he’s a wonderful dog. He loves to play with other dogs in the play yard and he loves to go to off-site adoptions and meet people.
