The Illinois Valley Animal Rescue is feeling a bit more crowded than usual. An influx of dogs has the facility over its capacity and in need of people willing to adopt a new four-legged member into their household.
Normally, the dog building can hold up to 40 dogs, but this week it is housing 55, shelter manager Leslie Urnikis said.
Dog adoption hours are from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday and from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday at the facility at 116 Industrial Drive in La Salle. Appointments can be made by calling 815-224-0061.
IVAR is seeking donations of pet food, cleaning supplies and more. There is a current need for Friskies mixed pate to help feed the cats that are available for adoption. Adoption hours for the cat building are from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, from 2 to 6 p.m. Friday and from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday.
