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.

Dillon
Code: 1195C

Sex: Male
Size: Large
Color: White & Orange
Note: FIV Positive
House-trained: Unknown
Good with Dogs: Unknown
Good with Cats: Unknown
Good with Children: Unknown
Posted: 06.18.18
Comments: Dillon was found as a stray before being brought to the shelter, and so not a great deal is known about him except that he is FIV Positive, which means that he MUST be in a home with no other cats and NEVER allowed to go outside. This isn't so bad as it sounds providing he goes to a loving household... such as yours?
"My name is Dillon and having a home of my own sure would be 'thrillin'."

Chico
Code: 2102-1
Breed: Chihuahua
Approximate Date of Birth: 03.28.2014
Sex: Male
Size: Small
Color: Fawn
House-trained: Unknown
Good with Dogs: Unknown
Good with Cats: Unknown
Good with Children: Unknown
Posted: 06.18.18
Comments: His owner had no time to care for him or his companion, so Chico came to see us about finding him a suitable home. He is very skittish when you first meet him, and it takes him some time to get to know you. Chico is a one person sort of a guy who needs a quiet adult home, as he gets overwhelmed when surrounded by a lot of people, and especially young children. Once he gets to know and trust you, Chico loves attention and he likes to sit in your lap.
