April April is a 2-year-old, 45-pound American Pit Bull Terrier Mix, picked up by animal control in a very rural area. April literally had no time left when Heartland came to visit her and, had they left the shelter without her, she would have been euthanized immediate afterwards. April has the typical energy of dogs of her type, so needs plenty of exercise. She will reward you for walks or playtime by showing you her tricks. She knows “sit,” “down,” “shake’” and “stay.” April is selective about other dogs as friends, so would be happy as an only dog in a cat-free household, although a …

Lil’ Orphan Annie: This kitty was rescued as a tiny baby and bottle fed as she was (obviously) an orphan! What makes her a bit different is a challenge with perfect gait while walking.  Annie marches with her back legs but walks perfectly with her front.  She plays with her kitty friends and chases, and jumps through kitty toys just fine, but is slow in her walking and very careful when climbing in and out of the litter box.  It is as if in running her brain forgets there is a problem, in walking it is quite obvious something is not perfectly connected there.  Annie has shared a room with two…

Staff members at the St. Charles Animal Shelter are desperate to try to find a home for Zeus, an 8-month-old black shepherd/lab mix. He was featured two weeks ago in the Adopt Me column. The other animals featured that week were adopted, but Zeus is still looking for a home.  Zeus has been at the shelter since mid-October. Although he goes for walks with volunteers, it's not good for him to be caged up so much, said Animal Control Officer Cindy Saeuberlich. Zeus is very sweet and friendly, she said. At 50 lbs, he is housebroken and good with kids. The St. Charles Animal Control will be …
