"Dogs are wise. They crawl away into a quiet corner and lick their wounds and do not rejoin the world until they are whole once more."

Today at Benld Adopt-A-Pet

Friday, June 13, 2025

The shelter is OPEN today from 1-5 p.m. Please call 217.835.2538 for an appointment.

Benld Adopt-A-Pet is asking for donations to help pay for Windy’s surgery

Windy, a young female Terrier puppy, shown here recuperating at her Foster Home. Upon her arrival at BAAP, it was discovered that Windy had two hairline fractures of her right hind leg.

Hi everypawdy!

It’s me, Windy, just checking in. This is “not” how I expected to start off my “Hot-Girl Summer”. More like “Hot-Girl Bummer”!! I got my surgery to fix my leg, and now I have to relax and get some rest. I guess cooling off in a puppy pool and doing my daily zoomies will just have to wait! That’s not very fun, but I am enjoying being spoiled.
My surgery cost $3,455. Some awesome donors have help[ed me cover most of it, but I still need $1,555 or I’ll probably have to get a job. Can you help me out by hitting the donate button? Or maybe even just help spread the word so more people see me.
Thanks a bunch!

Love,

Windy
