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: Annie came to us from a breeder, who no longer had any use for her, but now her breeding days are over, and it's time for her to go to a nice home where she can live the life of a pampered pooch. After what she's been through, it might take her awhile to get used to being loved and pampered, but she is ready to give it a try. Annie tends to be shy of people she doesn't know as she has never been socialized, so she is looking for a very patient and understanding person.

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.

He loves to be held and hugged and will repay you with lots of sloppy kisses. Hopper, as his name implies, is also capable of jumping over objects, and so a securely fenced yard is a must for this little guy.

Comments: Jessie was part of an unplanned litter that her owner was unprepared to care for or keep. She was a cute, cuddly, fuzzy little puppy when she went home, and now she has returned as a full grown young lady, still cute and cuddly -- just a lot bigger. Jessie prefers to eat her meals alone as she tends to be somewhat food aggressive, an issue that is easily resolved with separate feeding. She has another issue though; she tends not to like having small dogs around. Jessie is looking for an inside home with a securely fenced yard where she can play with her new family. Jesse was adopted on 07/19/2019, but returned on 07/22/2019 due to an incident with a small dog. She needs a home with no small dogs or cats.

Comments: His owner had moved out and left Jordie and his pal Rennie behind to fend for themselves. It's thought that they had likely been in the house without food for a week or more and, had they not been rescued, would likely have slowly starved to death. Jordie was thin but not as bad as his friend Rennie, and he is now gaining his weight back slowly though he still has a ways to go before he is back to where he should be. Jordie is an energetic boy who is looking for an inside home with a securely fenced yard to safely play in with his new family. After undergoing an experience such as he did, doesn't he deserve a chance to live out his life in a happy loving home?

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: Reagan came to us with his mom and siblings. He was adopted as a puppy on 05/02/2009 and returned to us on 09/24/2011. 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: Rocky was relinquished to the custody of the shelter shortly after being adopted as a puppy. It seems that they got themselves a puppy, THEN found out that the landlord wouldn't allow them to keep it. Due to poor planning on their part Rocky, through no fault of his own, found himself in search of a new home. He was adopted but returned on 08/01/2014 because his family was moving and couldn't take him along. He was adopted again and returned on 12/08/2018 because he was too big for the wife to walk. Rocky is a wonderful sweet boy, who is house-trained and gets along with other dogs and cats. He is afraid of thunder and storms, and he DOES NOT like to have his feet or paws touched and will bite, which makes it very difficult to trim his nails. Rocky needs an inside home with a large securely fenced yard to safely play in with his 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: 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.

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.
