Meet Oma: This Week’s Adoptable Pet

This week, meet Oma.

Oma is an approximately 8-year-old Rottweiler mix looking for a new family to call her own. The medium-sized female dog has a short brown and black coat and is currently available for adoption through the Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center.

Oma is described as a very nice dog and is looking for a home where she can spend her later years. She is vaccinated and is listed as having no special needs. She has not yet been spayed, and her compatibility with children, dogs, cats and other animals is currently unknown. Those interested in adopting her can contact Sangamon County Animal Control to learn more about her personality, ask questions and determine whether she might be a good fit for their home.

Oma is one of several dogs and cats currently waiting for homes at the Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center.

Animals adopted through the center are vaccinated, spayed or neutered and microchipped before adoption. Dog adoptions also typically include a rabies vaccination, registration, routine vaccinations and worming. Dogs older than six months are tested for heartworm.

Eligible animals are adopted on a first-come, first-served basis after they have been cleared by the center’s veterinarian for adoption.

Anyone interested in meeting or adopting Oma can visit the Sangamon County Animal Control and Adoption Center at 2100 Shale Road in Springfield. The center is open from 10:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Adoption services end 15 minutes before the facility closes.

Prospective adopters can also contact Sangamon County Animal Control at 217-535-3065 for information about Oma or the adoption process. Those interested in Oma can also view her profile and submit an adoption inquiry through her Petfinder listing.
