Through our dog bakery, I've had the pleasure to become involved with a wonderful animal welfare agency, llinois Humane, here in Springfield. Illinois Human specializes in abuse and neglect cases, and sadly here locally, there is never a shortage of work for them to do. Originally  I just offered to donate cookies for them to sell, (which I still do) but I was so touched by the amazing work they do, I have since become a full fledged volunteer. If you are looking to get involved with a non profit agency, or are looking for a 4 legged companion, please get in touch with them. They are always welcoming donations, (monetary or supplies) and there is always an abundance of wonderful pets needing a good home. Please visit their website
