Meet Esha!

One of our dedicated volunteers, Stephanie, named Esha as her favorite dog at the shelter.  She said (among other glowing things) that it was because:

"[Esha has] a level of independence and confidence that I love. Every time I leave her, her eyes tell me she belongs in a home and she absolutely deserves that kind of security in her senior years."

Esha has been with us since March, and in that time, Stephanie isn't the only one who has come to love Esha. Other volunteers have said:

○ "Esha is a super sweet and an absolute 'walk in the park' pro. She is so happy to go out. Really makes us happy to see her so happy."
○ Another called her a silly girl and said, "Esha always does so well. She has become one of my favorite pups at the shelter. Always a wiggle worm!"

Help us find her a home?

Annual Board Meeting

Please join us for our annual board meeting. This will be a chance to review the past year, talk through important shelter updates, and make plans for the year ahead.

📅 Date: Monday, September 14, 2026
⏰ Time: 5:30pm
📍 Location: CityView at Illinois Terminal

One key component of the meeting will be voting on board members and any open board positions.

Board members, volunteers, and anyone involved in supporting the shelter are encouraged to attend. Your input helps us make thoughtful decisions and keep our focus on the animals and the community we serve.

Thank you for all you do for CCHS. We hope to see you there!

Pets. Happy at Home.

We love seeing the cats, dogs, and critters that once lived in our shelter go on to live happy lives with their new families. And we LOVE when you tell us about how they're doing!

Share an Adoption Update

We know exactly how many photos of them are on your camera roll, so please take a moment to show off your pet and update us!
