Did you know Friends of Sangamon County Animal Control has a rescue/foster program for dogs that need extra care? Sometimes dogs arrive at SCAC with medical issues or they’re just too terrified by the shelter environment. When that happens, Friend’s rescue steps in to provide the extra help and comfort that is needed.
Our Wet Nose Wednesday star is one of the dogs who needed extra love and attention. Neko is a strikingly handsome 1 year old husky/shepherd mix. When he arrived at SCAC he was terrified and panicked. After awhile he warmed up to some volunteers but it was obvious he needed extra time and training before he could be adopted.
Neko has been living with one of our experienced fosters and she says this once terrified dog is now the easiest foster she’s ever had. Neko is good natured with people, athletic and playful. He’s a very sweet boy with an endearing personality. He’s crate trained and he barks at cats so he would do best in a home without cats. Because he’s a Husky Neko needs an active family who will take him for walks and engage in structured play and training games every day. This boy loves to be outside but also loves time for snuggling.
Does Neko sound like the boy for you? Please contact Friends of SCAC rescue at friendsofscac@yahoo.com. We would love to set up a meet and greet. NEKO IS NOT AT SANGAMON COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL. please don’t call the shelter for information. Thanks to The Villas Senior Care Community of Sherman for sponsoring Wet Nose Wednesday!
