Louise and her partner in crime, Thelma, came to the Animal Care League through Oak Park Animal Control. Louise didn’t get the attention or loving she needed in the past; so she took matters into her own paws and decided for a life on the road. In the end, Louise decided life on the run wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be and ended up at the Animal Care League shelter. She arrived on our doorstep with asphalt in her fur and we discovered she was heartworm positive. We’re treating her heartworm disease and she’s enjoying her walks and all the attention she deserves. But what Louise is really wishing for is a loving home to call her own. Louise is housebroken and needs a home with children older than 10.

To adopt a featured pet or to learn more, call the Animal Care League at (708) 848-8155, visit the shelter at 1011 Garfield St., Oak Park, or e-mail animalcare@ameritech.net. Available online at www.animalcareleague.org.

People who love their pets get ID tags for them. It’s the right thing to do and it’s a village law. If you lose a pet or find someone else’s, call Pioneer Press at (847) 998-3400 to put a free, lost or found, ad in classifieds.
