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.

Comments: Max, the result of an unplanned litter, originally came to the shelter as a puppy and was adopted on 07/02/2017. He was returned on 05/15/2019 after having been surrendered to St Clair County Animal Control. They had called a couple of weeks earlier wanting to return him. They said that he was getting aggressive with the other dogs. Max is basically a sweet boy who just wants a good home with an active family and a large securely fenced yard where he can exercise and play with his family.
