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.

Meet Addyson
Hi! My name is Addyson, an adult Shepherd mix born in April of 2016. I am looking for a forever home with my best friend Buddy, we can't bear to be apart from each other. I get along with other dogs, have lived with cats and love children. I can be a little startled by storms but having a thunder shirt wrapped around me really helps. When I was just a pup, my front right leg was broke and a rod was put in. I do not require anything additional for my leg at this time. I am spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed and negative for heartworms. |
Meet Buddy
Hi! My name is Buddy because I'm ready to be your new adventure buddy. Myself and my best friend Addyson are looking for a family together. We can't imagine being without each other and cry when separated. In our previous home we lived with small dogs and even a cat. We are great with children too. We love to fun and play in a fenced yard and are housetrained. I am very afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks so I like to be wrapped in my "thunder shirt" for extra comfort until the scary noises are over. I am neutered, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and heartworm negative. |

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, de-wormed, tested for heart worms, and micro-chipped. Help Support Cali

Meet Loki
Howdy friends, the name is Loki, please don't forget it. I am a wonderful boy once I get to know you but do take a little bit of time to learn you are a good person. 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. One of my favorite things is getting treats from new people or playing in a large fenced yard. I have learned the basic commands but a family willing to work with a professional trainer would be great to help me become the dog I'm meant to be. Ideally an indoor home without children or cats and a pet parent that is used to my kind of fun would be the perfect fit for me. With me you get a great dog that has been neutered, vaccinated including rabies, wormed, Negative for heartworms, and micro-chipped. Help Support Loki

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

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.

Meet Zuess
I may be small but I have the mighty name of Zuess! I'm currently looking for a forever home to retire and live the good life.

I love to lay in the sun, snuggle with my favorite stuffed toy or gently share a snack with you. Some things I'm not a fan of are children or cats, and I am also picky on what dogs I will be friends with, so my new home would be free of those allowing me to have your attention.
