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.

Myah
Code: 1519C-2
Breed: Siamese
Approximate Date of Birth: 02.01.2014
Sex: Female
Size: Medium
Color: Seal Point
House-trained: Unknown
Good with Dogs: Unknown
Good with Cats: Unknown
Good with Children: Unknown
Posted: 07.18.18
Photo Updated: 08.25.18
Comments: Myah was relinquished to our custody by her owner who could not continue caring for her any longer. She is a friendly girl, though may be a bit shy when she first meets you. She needs some tender, loving care, but is ready to move on and into a new home with someone who will give her a chance to become comfortable in her new surroundings. Myah was adopted 05.30.18 and returned on 07.17.18 because she wasn't using her litter box and didn't care much for the other cats in the household. She might do better as an only cat.

Wilson
Code: 1868
Breed: Rat Terrier / Unknown
Approximate Date of Birth: 01.02.2009
Sex: Male
Size: Medium
Color: White & Brown
Note: Has cataracts in both eyes
House-trained: Unknown
Good with Dogs: Unknown
Good with Cats: Unknown
Good with Children: Unknown

Profile Updated: 02.05.18
Photo Updated: 02.05.18
Comments: Wilson was transferred to us by Animal Control when his time there was nearly up. He is a very sweet, friendly and mature little guy who just wants to be loved, and would love to have a home of his very own. Wilson was passed over due to his age and special needs, as he is also vision impaired. He would do very well in a home with a companion dog to help show him the way. Wilson has been given a second chance at life; will you give him a chance to live that life with you?
