PET OF THE WEEK: We welcomed Aurora (or is it Daisy?) at the last minute – and it was worth it

CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) — This morning, Emma and Leo from Moore’s Rescue Ranch brought Aurora (but she was ignoring that name and responds better to Daisy) to the studios. She is a two-year-old doodle mix, and she is the softest animal we’ve had here yet.

While Moore’s doesn’t know much about her history, they DO know that she LOVES other dogs. She doesn’t like cats, and is so sweet, but nervous around humans. We can tell she has been through a lot. Check out the video on 100.3 WIXY’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1AZHfP6q2v/

We are so grateful to our sponsor of Pet of the Week, Curtis Road Animal Hospital, for their generosity and amazing service towards animals in the community.
