Pet(s) of the Week: This week, two dogs went to their forever homes

This morning, Whiskey, or gentle giant, topping off at 102 pounds, went home to his dad, mom, and 1 1/2-year-old human sister. He had nothing but love for everyone at the radio center, and you can tell he loves his new dad so much. Luna also went home today – but we didn’t have to look far for her new mom. She will be living her best life with Illini Media Group’s VP/General Manager, Jamie Ulrey.
