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

Jinx
Code: 1444C
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Date Admitted: 04.08.2017
Date of Birth: 04.02.2013
Color: Black & Brown Tabby
Sex: Male
Size: Large
Jinx was relinquished to our custody by his owner who had rescued him after he was abandoned by his original owner. His second owner had cared for him for some time, but now they are moving and unable to take Jinx along with them, so poor Jinx finds himself alone once again. Jinx is a very friendly boy who just wants to find a nice comfortable forever home to move into with a loving family.
"Although my name is 'Jinx', if you adopt me your luck -- and mine -- will surely change for the better."

Chico
Code: 2102-1
Breed: Chihuahua
Date Admitted: 01.21.2017
Date of Birth: 03.28.2014
Color: Fawn
Sex: Male
Size: Small
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.
"My name is Chico and I'm looking for a nice quiet home to settle down in."
