Lisa Legere, of Murphysboro, plays with a puppy at the Humane Society of Southern Illinois Sunday. October is Adopt A Shelter Dog Month. Humane societies across the nation are overrun with unwanted, stray and neglected animals that need homes, Murphysboro shelter staff members said. For households that aren’t stable enough to care for an animal, the humane society said they offer a sponsorship program in which volunteers take an animal into their home and care for it until a request for adoption is verified.
