Springfield area residents
September 6, 2022 Lily, one of our adopted cats, is missing in Springfield. She bolted out the door. She had never attempted to go outside before, but the city was doing some road construction near by, and there was a lot of different noises going on, which may have frightened her. Lily lives at 2205 Fairway Street in Springfield. Her owners name is Noy, and his phone number is 217-653-5221. |
Lily is approximately 3 years old, female, orange, medium sized, with medium length hair. If you see her, please call her owner at 217.653.5221, or Benld Adopt-A-Pet at 217.835.2538.

Picture of the Week
On Sunday, September 25th, BAAP brought 3 dogs from our shelter to Chatham's Community Park, to participate in their Paws-A-Palooza, and possibly find their new home. Though it was a very windy day, it wasn't an ill wind that helped a young couple find us, who wound up adopting Zelda, a year old, female, Catahoula Leopard Dog. Atta girl, Zelda; and enjoy your new home! 09/26/2022
