​Quote of the day . . .

“Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation and almost as good for the soul as prayer.”

Today at Benld Adopt-A-Pet . . .

Tuesday, August 3, 2021

Adoption hours are from 1-5 p.m., every day, by appointment only.  We have a large number of fine dogs and cats to choose from.  For more information, call us at 217.835.2538, fax us at 217.835.2537, or email us by clicking on the link below.


We will hold our next Mobile Adoption August 14th, at PetSmart,
 3183 S Veterans Parkway in Springfield, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.    

We could really use some shredded paper at the shelter, but it must be  the "strip cut" variety; not the "cross cut".  If you can help us out with this, please call the shelter at 217.835.2538.  Thank you!

your pet may be gone, so be safe and --

NEVER LEAVE YOUR PET ALONE IN A CAR!

PROTECT YOUR PETS!
People are urged not to leave their dogs unattended for even a few minutes in their yard or any public place.  Even dogs in fenced yards with locked gates are at risk, so keep a really close eye on your pet and, if you notice any suspicious persons or vehicles in the area, call your local law enforcement agency immediately.
