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

Comments: Rusty originally came to us after being relinquished by his owner as part of an unplanned litter. He was adopted as a kitten and returned to us on 10.25.16 after his owner passed away and no one could be found to look after him. Rusty is a great boy, well socialized, loving and very playful, and would make some lucky family a perfect companion. Rusty was adopted on 09.24.17 and returned on 09.29.17. He was hiding and not eating.

Shadow
Code: 1548-1
Breed: Jack Russell Terrier
Approximate Date of Birth: 08.25.2012
Sex: Male
Size: Medium
Color: Tricolour
Notes: Tail Docked
House-trained: Unknown
Good with Dogs: Unknown
Good with Cats: Unknown
Good with Children: No
Posted: 03.07.17
Photo Updated: 03.18.18
Comments: Shadow, who was relinquished to our custody by his owner who could no longer take care of him, is your typical Jack Russell; very intelligent, very active, and wants to be involved in all family events. Shadow will require a lot of time and attention and needs to be very active. He was adopted shortly after coming to the shelter and returned on 03.12.15, due to his very high anxiety and being somewhat unpredictable with young children. He was adopted again on 03.02.16 and returned on 02.20.17 because he had become overly protective of his owner. Shadow would most likely do best in an adult home with no other pets.
