Meet Buckley

Buckley is always up for an adventure! This five-year-old Great Dane/Hound mix has a big smile, and an even bigger sense of curiosity!

If you're looking for a fun-loving companion who enjoys getting out and about, Buckley may be the perfect match.

Stop by the shelter during open hours to meet him!

Consider Fostering

Fostering a pet can be a crucial part of their journey to adoption. Can you open your home to a pet, temporarily? Not only will you be directly ensuring animals have a safe place to grow and heal, but it will also give CCHS the opportunity to house even more pets here at the shelter.

Learn More and Enroll

You might be asked to care for:
🐾 Newborns, too young to safely be at the shelter
🐾 Pets awaiting or recovering from a medical event
🐾 An animal that needs more time or space to thrive

CCHS provides the pet supplies, medical care, food, and more to help you care for your foster pet. Please consider applying if you can open your home to a pet in temporary need.

Caring for the Animals of Champaign County

Champaign County Humane Society is a full-service animal shelter, providing companion animals with essential medical care in a healthy environment to prepare them for adoption into new loving homes. We also provide humane education and a variety of programs to support and promote responsible pet ownership and prevent abandonment, cruelty and neglect.
