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.
___________________________________________
This is a video taken on 10.20.17 of various dogs in the outdoors exercise pens. We give the dogs as much time as possible in these pens, subject to weather conditions. Note: Though you see "igloos" in the pens, these are provided only for the dogs to use while outdoors during the day. All dogs are housed indoors at night and during inclement weather.
___________________________________________
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: Abby arrived at the shelter with her puppies after having been brought in by Animal Control. She was adopted on 08/20/2018 but returned on 06/08/2019 due to her caregiver leaving temporarily with no one else in the household able to care for her. Abby tends to be on the shy and timid side, and would likely do best in a quiet adult home, perhaps with a friendly non-aggressive companion dog of her choosing, but no cats. Abby needs an inside home where someone will be home a great deal of the time, and she also needs a securely fenced yard to 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.

Comments: Relinquished to us by his owner who had too many animals to care for, Bear was just a cuddly ball of fur when he was adopted. Over the years he has developed some behavioral issues and, though they tried training, medication, etc., nothing seemed to work. Eventually, the vet advised that they find him another home as he obviously wasn't happy with his environment in their home. Bear is very sweet, cuddly, playful and loving, however there are certain considerations. He loves his mom but doesn't want to share her with dad, and sometimes becomes rather grumpy and even nippy when he is startled awake. Bear can be very choosy about his 4 legged playmates, though he gets along with some other dogs, mostly females. Children tend to be too active and unpredictable for him, and he would do best in a quiet adult home. He is very picky, but he knows there is a perfect home waiting for him somewhere. Bear needs an inside home with a securely fenced yard where he can play and exercise.

Note: Corky and Cricket need to be adopted together.
Their owner passed away and no other family member was able to take them in and care for them, so Corky and Cricket came to the shelter hoping that we could find them a nice cozy loving forever home. They have been together all their lives and so we are going to make every effort to keep them together. They are very sweet and very energetic (especially Corky), and just want to love and be loved. They are not particularly fond of young children though older children would likely be okay. They also don't like going for car rides, and were uncertain if they have been exposed to being around other animals. Corky is presently on medication for a Tyhroid condition.

Comments: Her owner had kept her in a kennel most of the time, and so poor Daisy didn't receive the one on one attention that she craved and needed. She is a very sweet lady, laid back and very calm, but she does like to receive attention and will respond to same by snuggling up to you and wagging her tail. Daisy needs an inside home with a loving family who will give her the time and attention she desires, and she also needs a securely fenced yard to exercise and play in with her new family. Daisy is currently undergoing Heartworm treatment, but she will be available for adoption soon.

Comments: Dusty was one of many ... too many ... for his owner to care for, so he was relinquished into our custody. He is a little bit timid when he first meets someone new but, with a pat on the head and a few kind words, he will quickly warm up to you. Dusty is a little guy, so needs a gentle loving home to call his very own. Will YOU be the one to open up your heart and home and give Dusty a second chance at living a happy life?

Comments: Juliet can be aggressive towards some other dogs, so she should be introduced to any potential new housemate beforehand. She decides who will be allowed to handle her, 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 a home with no other dogs or young children.

Comments: Mason is at the shelter because his owner is preparing to move overseas and can't take him along. He is a sweet, fun loving, and very intelligent boy, who enjoys spending time with his people and is always up for an adventure. 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. He is not aggressive, and is actually quite the gentleman. Mason is looking for a cozy inside home with a large securely fenced yard, along with an owner who is very loving, caring and understanding of his needs.

Comments: Relinquished by his owner, who was unable to continue caring for him due to his (owners) health, Moshe had been living a quiet life with just mom and dad, as there were no children or other pets in the house. It takes him a little while to get to know new people, so he needs patience and understanding while he adjusts to his new routine in his new home. Moshe would likely do best in an adult home where there are no young children around. Once he gets to know you he will be your perfect companion.

He was found running at large after his owners moved and left him behind. He was Heart Worm Positive when he returned and subsequently was treated and re-tested negative. He will need to be on Heart Worm Prevention the rest of his life, but this is no big deal. Reagan was adopted again on 06/19/2014 but returned to us on 09/09/2015 by Animal Control. His owner passed away and there was no one to care for poor Reagan. This sweet boy deserves to find his forever home and to never have to worry about being left behind again.

Comments: His owner got him at a flea market and took him (and his sister) home because she felt sorry for them. However, as it turned out, kind hearted though she was, she was simply unable to care for them, so she wound up releasing them to the custody of the shelter. Reginald was adopted shortly thereafter on 06/23/2018, but was returned on 09/09/2018 due to a family members allergies. Reginald is looking for an inside home with s large securely fenced yard to run around and play in with his new family.

Comments: Sandy was relinquished to our custody by her owner who had too many dogs to be able to care for them all. She is a sweet little girl, but she is also very timid and is easily frightened by strange sights or sounds, including coming into contact with any person she isn't familiar with. Sandy does crave affection and would love to have her own home with a kind and patient person who is willing to work with her and help her overcome her fear of the unknown. She would like to have an inside home with a yard or pen to run around in while she is outdoors.

Comments: Sarge was one of a litter of six puppies that came in to us awhile back from an owner who had more animals than they could care for. He is a sweet, lovable and handsome little guy, who is also very energetic and playful, and needs an inside home with a fair sized yard to exercise and play in with his new family. Sarge is still a puppy so he needs an owner who is prepared to make a lifelong commitment towards caring for him.

Comments: Sugar Plum and her two siblings were left at the door with a note attached asking us to find them a good home. She was adopted shortly thereafter on 05/11/2011, but returned to us on 01/18/2019, after she was found running with another dog along I-255 near Edwardsville. She is sweet and very friendly but cautious of new surroundings. She knows some commands and walks well on a leash. Sugar Plum is looking for an inside home with a securely fenced yard to safely play in with her new family.

Comments: Tommie came to the shelter after he was relinquished by his owner. He is a very sweet little guy, who craves lots of affection and loves to be held, and he in turn will return that affection with lots of kisses 10 times over. Tommie would make a great companion for someone who is home a lot, and is looking for a furry little companion to brighten up their home.

Comments: Wilson was transferred to us by Animal Control when his time there was nearly up. He is a very sweet, friendly and mature little guy who just wants to be loved, and would love to have a home of his very own. Wilson was passed over due to his age and special needs, as he is also vision impaired. He would do very well in a home with a companion dog to help show him the way. Wilson has been given a second chance at life; will you give him a chance to live that life with you?

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. Take a real close look and see if that face doesn't remind you of a certain character in Star Wars.
