About our adoptions ...
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. 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 below, and submitting it to: Benld Adopt-A-Pet, PO Box 53, Benld IL 62009-0053, or by visiting us at 807 Stewart Rd in Benld IL, or by attending one of our mobile adoptions in O'Fallon or Springfield IL.
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.
___________________________________________
Puppies are great but, if you don't want to train a puppy why not consider adopting one of our older dogs, many of whom would likely be a perfect fit for your household.

Comments: Annie was transferred to us from a "high-kill" shelter; she had been there the longest (about 3 months), and so would have been the first to be euthanized. She is a very energetic young lady, especially when she is just released from the kennel, and when she meets new people for the first time, though she will soon calm down and begin giving you lots of kisses. All she asks is that you give her a chance to demonstrate just how sweet and loving she can be. Some professional training would be most helpful with this girl. Annie needs an inside home with a securely fenced yard she can exercise and play in with her family.

Comments: Beans came to us from his owner who acquired him from someone who was going to just release him on the road. His new owner had him for around three months, but was unable to keep him long term. Beans is your typical Chihuahua, reserved and cautious, and it takes him awhile to warm up to someone. Beans is looking for a quiet adult home, with perhaps a small fenced yard or pen to run around and exercise in.

Comments: Juliet can be aggressive towards some other dogs, so she should be introduced to any potential new housemate beforehand. She can be a bit nippy towards someone she doesn't know, though she will warm to you after she gets to know you. Like most of her breed Juliet is very energetic and loves to run and romp around whenever she gets a chance. She would love to demonstrate just how sweet and affectionate she can be with you in your home. Juliet would prefer an inside home with no young children, and a small yard where she could run around and exercise in.

Comments: Liberty came to us from a Hi-kill animal shelter, where her future was not looking to good, as her time was almost up there. She is a beautiful sweet friendly and loving little girl. She does well on a leash and gets along with other dogs. She loves being with people and would make a great addition to some lucky family. She does need some reinforcement on house breaking. She has been spayed, vaccinated including rabies, wormed, tested for heart worm and micro-chipped. Liberty needs an inside home with a securely fenced yard to exercise and play in with her family.

Comments: Her owner didn't have enough time for her due to work schedule, so Maggy was spending too much time home alone. She loves being with her people and getting lots of love and attention.

She needs to be in a country setting, no apartment or close neighbors. Like most of her breed she is a barker. She is very sweet and friendly and will make a great family pet for the right owner.

Relinquished by his owner due to a new baby coming, Marty is not good with children. He is a shy mature little guy who is scared of storms and loud noises, and would likely do best in a quieter adult home without a lot of guests coming and going. He is also very sweet, once he gets to know and trust his owner, but not so much with other people that may come to visit, as he may appear fine at first and then his attitude will change. He is not fond of being kenneled but that would be an option with visitors. He is looking for a special person that has patience, understanding, and experience with a temperament like his. He is a handsome sweet little guy, but a small dog with a big attitude. He has been, neutered, vaccinated including rabies, wormed, tested for heart worm, and micro-chipped. He required extensive dental work upon his arrival, and now has only two teeth left. Marty would like a cozy inside home with a small yard to exercise and play in with his new family.

Comments: Mason is at the shelter because his owner moved overseas and couldn't take him along. He is a very intelligent boy, who enjoys spending time with his people. He is wary of strangers and is an excellent guard dog, who is protective of his owners and their property. When Mason is out in public, or at other homes, he is somewhat less protective of them. He has had a minor "bite event" in his past. He had somehow gotten out of the yard and, when someone he didn't know tried to take him back home, he nipped them on the ankle. Mason has had some extensive training, and he knows several voice commands and key words, though he could benefit from some further training. Mason is looking for a cozy inside home, and a large securely fenced yard is a must, along with an owner who is very loving, caring and understanding of his needs.

Comments: Pops was found wandering the streets along with a puppy, and went unclaimed, so he came to the shelter. He was very thin and his skin was red and sore from dermatitis. All of that is now behind him, he is doing great, looking great, and is one happy fellow. Don't let his size and breed prevent you from taking this gem home. You don't want to miss out on a chance to come and meet him, as he is a very sweet pooch who loves everyone and everything. Pops gets along with most dogs, cats and kids. He is very strong and will pull when you walk him, so he will need some work walking on a leash. He has been neutered, up to date with vaccinations, tested negative for heart-worm and on prevention, teeth cleaned, and is micro-chipped. He needs a securely fenced yard to exercise and play in with his family. He was recently returned due to experiencing separation anxiety after quarantine and one of his persons was no longer home all the time with him. He is ready to jump in the car with his new family and head for home sweet home.

Comments: Relinquished to us by his owner, say hello to our newest BIG friend, Thor. This gentle giant is a Great Dane and Danes are often found to be devoted, reserved, friendly, confident, loving and gentle. Thor definitely fits the description. He is very relaxed and docile in nature, he gets along with other dogs as long as he is introduced properly. He will need regular exercise to stretch those long legs, several walks a day, a large fenced in yard would be ideal. Great Dane's are a fascinating breed but they are not for everyone. House not big enough, don't have the room, too strong can't handle him, costs too much to feed, just a few of the reasons they enter shelters. This humongous couch potato is ready to find his permanent loving home. If you are ready for this big guy to join your family please submit an application. He has been neutered, vaccinated including rabies, is heart worm negative and micro-chipped.

Comments: Released to the shelter by his owner who could no longer continue caring for him, Zeus may be somewhat timid around someone new at first, but he will likely become quite friendly once he gets to know you a bit. He is basically a sweet little guy, who may have experienced some unpleasant circumstances in the past. Though he would prefer a cozy home with adults and older children, Zeus might adapt to a friendly family home as well.

Comments: Released to the shelter by his owner who could no longer continue caring for him, Zeus may be somewhat timid around someone new at first, but he will likely become quite friendly once he gets to know you a bit. He is basically a sweet little guy, who may have experienced some unpleasant circumstances in the past. Though he would prefer a cozy home with adults and older children, Zeus might adapt to a friendly family home as well.
