Adoptions
To adopt you must live within 100 miles of one of our adoption sites (Benld, Litchfield, O'Fallon or Springfield IL) and be at least 18 years of age. We require that you be physically present to make the final adoption arrangements. We also require that all cats be kept indoors, and that all dogs be kept in a fenced-in yard, secure pen, or indoors. Failure to comply with any of these requirements may constitute grounds for us to take back the adopted animal.
Adoption Fees:
All pets have been spayed/neutered, are up to date with shots/vaccinations, and have been micro-chipped. If you have any questions about the animals, or want to know more about the shelter, please call us at 217.835.2538
Mobile Adoption Information:
For more information about mobile adoptions, please contact the shelter at 217.835.2538, or you may contact the participating stores:
NOTE: From time to time BAAP holds special adoptions at other locations. When such events are scheduled we will post that information below.
Should it be necessary to cancel an adoption due to potentially hazardous weather, or due to a conflict in the schedule, we will strive to post that information as soon as possible.
We suggest that you check this page for the latest information before traveling to one of our mobile adoptions.

Comments: Her owner passed away and she is very confused by what is happening to her. She is in a strange place, surrounded by people and other cats she has never seen before and is very scared. She is not very trusting of men and would prefer a female owner in a nice quiet home. Izzy is house trained and would prefer a home without young children.
I"m hoping that some kindly person will provide me with a nice cozy forever home."

Comments: Miss Kitty was relinquished to us by her owner who could no longer keep her. She is a sweet, well behaved young lady who, though a bit on the timid side, has begun receiving some hands on training and is gradually becoming more trusting, responsive and outgoing. Miss Kitty will make a great companion for the family lucky enough to take her into their home. She is looking for a cozy inside home with a securely fenced yard to safely romp about in with her new adopted family.
"Why would anyone name a dog 'Miss Kitty' -- but they did!" "Hey! How about we just make that 'Kit'?"
