Adoptable Animals Looking For Permanent Summer Vacation

MANHATTAN, IL — Summer is here and adoptable dogs and cats are looking for a permanent summer vacation at someone's home. According to the rescue's adoption web page, more than a dozen dogs and cats are available for adoption at Forget Me Not Animal Rescue, located at P.O Box 483 in Manhattan. Some have been at the rescue for a few weeks, others have been there a few months and would love to meet their forever family.

The rescue featured "Dori" Thursday on their Facebook page, who's a mere 32-pound "pocket pittie." Dori is about 3 years old, and is described as pretty lazy and chill inside the home, and loves to sleep.

"A more low key place will do and preferably a yard so you don’t have to go for walks work best," the rescue said, adding that Dori would prefer a home not in the city where there's too much dog traffic, as she's a tough girl on a leash (and will spot squirrels).

Can't adopt but would love to help care for animals at the shelter including senior and hospice furry friends? Thanks to the animal rescue's Bubbles Hospice Buddies Program, named after their founder's first hospice, Bubbles, the public can support these animals in need. Forget Me Not Animal Rescue will allocate funds from the program to go specifically to the care and medical needs of their old pals.
