Check out these pets available for adoption.
Angel was rescued by a Heartland volunteer over two years ago. She found a wonderful home with people who cared about her very much and were devastated to return her when their living circumstances changed. Angel is a Husky/Shepherd mix.

"Minnie," a 1 1/2 year old beagle/hound mix loves to explore.
Five Acres Animal Shelter: Diva is a gorgeous 10 year old female who is looking for a nice quiet home to call her own. She enjoys napping in a comfy bed and bird watching from the windows. She is often overlooked at the shelter since she is somewhat older than most of the cats. She hopes the Easter Bunny brings me a home to call her own!

Five Acres Animal Shelter is a 501c3 nonprofit organization located in St. Charles. Our mission is to end pet homelessness, promote responsible pet ownership and advocate for animal welfare. We are the only no kill shelter in St…

This year, the legislature passed Senate Bill 354 adding bath salts, or methylenedioxypyrovalerone, to the list of schedule 1 controlled substances.
