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. 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 Arya
Hello, My name is Arya. I'm a boxer mix puppy that loves to play with other dogs, meeting new people (mostly women) and learning new things. I am fearful of riding in cars as most of my rides have been to places I didn't know and that makes me uneasy. I will be a bigger dog when fully grown, my mom is around 60 pounds and we don't know what breed(s) my dad is. Given proper introductions I could learn to live in a home with cats, dogs and children. I will need a home willing to teach me that men are not something to be feared, I will growl and keep my distance from most men. I am spayed, vaccinated including rabies, wormed, tested negative for heart worm, and microchipped. Help Support Arya

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.

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 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

Hello my new friend, I'm Marlee. I am a young girl born around the end of May 2022 and best guess at breeds would be Pit/Hound mix.

Nice to sniff you, I'm Moses and I'm a senior English Setter and Poodle mix born in the summer of 2015. I have spent my years as a breeder dog, but I'm ready to be spoiled and pampered by a forever family. I will need a family that is willing to work with my vision and hearing impairments as well as teaching me where to potty, and help me learn the layout of my new home. I do seem to be mostly housetrained so I think I'd catch on quickly for my family. Due to my vision and hearing impairments I might be better suited for a family with older children as I get startled easily. I am neutered, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and negative for heartworms. Help Support Moses

Hello friend, I'm Murphy (TY) and I'm the sweetest Pit Bull mix you'll ever meet. I was born in 2020 and was brought to BAAP along with my littermates to find loving homes. I am a very strong boy that will need a little help learning not to pull as I was too strong for my adopted family. I did learn how to ring a bell on the door to let my family know I need to potty. I will need some time to learn my new family's routine and may have an occasional accident overnight. I'm on the hunt once more to find a forever home.
