About our adoptions . . .
Revised 03/07/2021
To adopt an animal, you must live within approximately 100 miles of one of our adoption sites (Benld, 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 all dogs be kept in a fenced-in yard, secure pen, or indoors, unless otherwise discussed and agreed upon ahead of time. Failure to comply with any of these requirements may constitute grounds for our taking back the adopted animal.
All pets have been spayed/neutered, are up to date with shots/vaccinations, have been micro-chipped, and are in good health to the best of our knowledge. If you have any questions about the animals, want to know more about the shelter, or have any other questions, please call or e-mail us as per above.
If you are interested in adopting any of these animals, you may begin the process by downloading the adoption form (button below), and submitting it to: Benld Adopt-A-Pet, PO Box 53, Benld IL 62009-0053, or e-mail to: aap1@frontiernet.net .
(After downloading form, you may use the fill & sign feature of your PDF app to complete application before e-mailing to us.)
We strive to keep our listings of animals available for adoption as up to date as possible however, due to the constant turnover at the shelter, this page may not be completely current at all times. Therefore, if you are looking for a specific animal, please contact the shelter as above to find out what is available.
We have dogs arriving at our shelter all the time so, if you do not see what you are looking for on this page, please call us at 217.835.2538, or e-mail us at aap1@frontiernet.net , and tell us what you are looking for. Also, we frequently have puppies too young to be listed on our website, which will however be available once they are spayed/neutered and have their shots. Just make the call and we'll get started on finding you the dog you want.
Please Note!
Animals are posted on this page when they are ready for adoption. If you do not see any new animals here for awhile, it is because we just don't have anything new to post at that time.

Meet Annie
Hello, I'm Annie (Squirt). I am a lovable, snuggle bug of a Pit Bull mix that was born in 2019. I was originally found as a stray when I was just a pup and no owner came forward to claim me. I quickly found a home to grow up in but sadly they had to move into a place that doesn't allow Pit Bulls. They didn't even meet me to find out what a lover and not a fighter I am. In my adopted home I lived with children, other dogs (big and small), and was kennel trained for when they had to leave the home. Since I have returned to BAAP I have been very selective on dogs I could possibly be friends with so a meet and greet is required with your current dog(s) and myself before I could join the family. I am housetrained but will need a little time to learn the new routine. I would love a forever home that has children and/or dogs to play with and a big fenced yard to play in. I am spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and tested negative for heartworms. Help Support Annie

Meet Bingo
Hello, I'm Bingo and I'm a young Standard Poodle that was born in Oct 2018. I have spent my first part of life living as a breeder dog, so I missed out on some of the experiences a dog my age would have had. I will need a family who is patient and help me become the best version of myself I can be. I could live in a home with other dogs and even though I haven't been around any children or cats, given proper introduction I could potentially live in a home with them as well. I'm not housetrained yet but given a routine and time I could learn in no time. I have been neutered, up to date on all vaccines including rabies, wormed, negative for heartworms, and microchipped.

Meet Blackberry
My name is Blackberry and I'm a handsome Merle Goldendoodle that was born in 2018. I have spent my years as a breeder's dog but now I'm looking for a home to retire in for years to come. I can be very shy at first but once I get to know you I'm a very active boy. I will require regular grooming. I am looking for a home that is patient with my needs and willing to teach me how to be a dog outside of a kennel lifestyle. I can be territorial of my belongings because I haven't really ever had any of my own. I would do best in a home without children, a fenced yard, and a calm environment. I have been neutered, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed and tested positive for heartworm, treatment completed. Help Support Blackberry

Meet Bow Tie
Hello and pleased to meet you, I'm Bow Tie. I'm a handsome adult dog that has a lot to say, and that's why I'm looking for a forever home. I like to bark when I get excited or see other animals. In my last home I lived with another dog and we got along really well so, depending on who the dog is in my next home, I might be able to be their new best friend. I am a little startled by thunderstorms, maybe we can snuggle on the couch together until the weather passes. I am housetrained, good with cats, and okay with older children (the little ones make me nervous). I am neutered, vaccinated including rabies, wormed, tested for heartworms, and microchipped.

Meet Cali
Hi! My name is Cali and I love you already! Cali is a sweet princess who is ready to tap dance her way into your heart. She has tons of energy to run and play. She loves to play with all the toys and loves to be the center of attention. Cali has a congenital skin disease called ichthyosis, which means she was born with a defect in the way her skin cells mature, causing the large scale/flakes across her whole body. There is no cure and symptomatic treatments can help manage secondary infections. Don't let that scare you away, while Cali does require a little more than your average dog, it is mostly making sure she gets a bath regularly and medication when needed for secondary infections. She has been spayed, vaccinated including Rabies, wormed, tested for heart worms, and micro-chipped. Help Support Cali

Meet Luna
Luna is the name and playing is my game. I'm an active Huskey mix that can jump as high as the moon, hence the name Luna. I'd love a large fenced yard to run and play in, but I can not be left unsupervised for any period of time as I will jump over the fence, especially if I see another animal on the other side. I love all people but because I can be a bull in a china shop I'd do best in a home with older children. Speaking of homes I'd do well in, one without any other animals is the home for me. I do not get along with other dogs and being a Huskey mix I don't get along with cats. I know a few commands like sit, lay and shake. I am spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, negative for heartworms and wormed. Help Support Luna

Meet Mason
Pleasure to meet you, I'm Mason an older Hound mix with lots of life to share with a forever family. I am not a dog for a first time pet parent as I require someone with experience to help me be the best version of myself. I do know a few commands like sit and shake but would love to learn new things to show my new family just how smart I really am. My ideal home would be one without other animals or children but a large fenced yard for me to safely run and play in. I'm a very gentle boy when you take the time to get to know me and I get to know you. Maybe we can play with my favorite red ball or share a couple of snacks together? Currently I am fully vaccinated including rabies, negative for heartworms, wormed, micro-chipped and neutered. Help Support Mason

Meet Payton
I'm a sweet Lab mix born in January 2022 along with my eight other siblings. We were believed to be mixed with Jack Russell but as the months have gone by I am much bigger than what a Jack Russell mix would be. It would be good to have my new family do a DNA test to find out what wonderful mix I really I am. I was adopted as a puppy and returned because I was too much for the younger children in the home. I was not mean in anyway but too jumpy and forceful with my love. If my new family had older children that would run and play with me I would love to join! I would do best in a home without cats and given a proper introduction I could possibly live in a home with other dogs. I am a little timid of men but with time and treats I'll warm up to you. I have been neutered, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed and tested for heartworms. Help Support Payton

Meet Preacher
Hi; my name is Preacher. I'm a young Lab mix that is ready for a place to call home. I will need some training to learn not to get into things that aren't mine and a friend to play with. I get along with other dogs but I haven't been able to meet any cats to see if we could be friends. I am housetrained and do know some commands like sit and down but will need work on not jumping on everyone. I'm just so happy to see the people I love.

Meet Rascal
You little Rascal ... wait that's my name! You'll be saying that phrase, what with my fun and playful personality once we become new best friends. I have a lot of young dog energy that would love a fenced yard to play in or to sunbathe in for a short period of time. I am not a dog for a first time pet parent as I require someone with experience to help me be the best version of myself. My ideal home would be one that doesn't have other four legged friends or children as I'm not always a big fan of them. I would really love to have a forever home soon because I have a lot of life and love to give. I have been neutered, vaccinated including rabies, negative for heartworms, wormed and micro-chipped.
