About Angus

Meet Angus, a charming Dachshund born in June 2012. This sweet boy has some limited vision and has had a bit of a journey with several owners due to health changes in their lives. Currently, he’s on the lookout for a stable forever home. Angus has always been an only dog, but he’s been great around kids and might thrive with other dogs given proper introductions. However, he’s not fond of cats, so he will need a cat-free environment. Angus has been neutered and is up to date on all vaccinations, including rabies, boosters, and he’s been microchipped. While he still needs a bit of work with house training, his gentle and affectionate nature makes him a loving companion. Potential adopters must be at least 18 years old and reside within about 100 miles of Benld or Springfield, IL. Let’s find Angus the peaceful home he deserves!
