Adoptions
To adopt you must live within approximately 100 miles of one of our adoption sites (Benld, 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:
NOTE: All times are 12 noon until 4:00 pm, unless announced otherwise.
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.

Featured Pets of the Week...
Posted: 04.15.19
Princess
Code: 1292C
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Approximate Date of Birth: 04.16.2012
Sex: Female
Size: Medium
Color: White
House-trained: Unknown
Good with Dogs: Unknown
Good with Cats: Unknown
Good with Children: Unknown
Profile Updated: 11.28.16
Comments: Princess was relinquished to us by her owner who was moving and couldn't take her with them. She is a friendly girl but very concerned about her future at this time, which is understandable having lost her comfortable home. Princess has gone through a number of changes recently, and she hasn't received the care or attention that she needs and craves, so she will need a little extra attention in her new home.

Zeus
Code: 1591
Breed: Chihuahua
Approximate Date of Birth: 09.15.2008
Sex: Male
Size: Small
Color: Red w/White on Chest
House-trained: Unknown
Good with Dogs: Small Dogs
Good with Cats: Unknown
Good with Children: Unknown
Profile Updated: 09.27.17
Photo Updated: 03.18.16
Comments: Released to the shelter by his owner who could no longer continue caring for him, Zeus may be somewhat timid around someone new at first, but he will likely become quite friendly once he gets to know you a bit. He is basically a sweet little guy, who may have experienced some unpleasant circumstances in the past. Though he would prefer a cozy home with adults and older children, Zeus might adapt to a friendly family home as well. Take a real close look and see if that face doesn't remind you of a certain character in Star Wars.
