Quote of the Day

"But with dogs, we do have "bad dog." Bad dog exists. "Bad dog! Bad dog! Stole a biscuit, bad dog!" The dog is saying, "Who are you to judge me? You human beings who've had genocide, war against people of different creeds, colors, religions, and I stole a biscuit?! Is that a crime? People of the world!"

"Well, if you put it that way, I think you've got a point. Have another biscuit, sorry.""

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

Directions to the shelter:

From I-55 take Exit 44 (Illinois Route 138) & go west for 2.6 miles, passing immediately through White City. When you see the sign for Sawyerville, take the next right turn - this is marked "Stewart Road", and there is also a bright blue IDOT "Macoupin County Adopt-A-Pet" sign. The shelter is directly ahead on the right - 807 Stewart Avenue. (Sketch below not to scale)

"Finding Rover" is now "Petco Love Lost", a free service provided by the Petco Foundation to help reunite owners with their lost pets. Also, if you have found an animal and wish to locate the owner, you may do so here. Just click on "Lost & Found Pets" at the top of the page. Good luck! 08/09/2022

NOTE: if you haven't already done so, you should enter this number on your phone, so that you will always have it handy in the event of an emergency. It could save your pet's life!
