Posted on September 5, 2025 by Elizabeth Hess

CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) – Moore’s Rescue Ranch pulled Sweetie from Animal Control last week, as she was designated for euthanization on Friday. Ryan, who already has three dogs of his own and a new baby, fostered this wonderful girl. As you can see from the video on WIXY 100.3, she loved everyone immediately: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/19Q5JhYXGu/

She needs a family of her own and a yard to run. Thanks to our friends at Moore’s Rescue Ranch and Hoveln Heating & Cooling, Inc., we are able to help find homes for cats and dogs every week. Check-out Duane Shannon and the WIXY Facebook feed every Thursday morning for the latest video.
