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: 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: 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.

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 young children.

Comments: Lady Bug was relinquished by her owner for her own safety, as she didn't have a fenced yard and kept running into the road to chase cars. She may have also been abused by her previous owner. Lady Bug has had a run of bad luck but, hopefully, this is about to change. She is quite timid and prefers women over men, and a quiet adult only home in a calm environment, without a lot of activity or a lot of people coming and going all the time. Lady Bug doesn't like loud noises or young children around. She wants an inside home with a secure fenced yard to hang out in. She was adopted and returned 18 months later, after they couldn't care for her any longer. She was re-adopted, but recently returned after two years because it wasn't the right environment for her (she was too timid with the younger kids).

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: Molly was relinquished to the custody of the shelter by her owner, who was moving to a place where pets are not allowed -- such places exist? She is a spunky, energetic little girl, but her owner worked long hours and wasn't able to give her the time and attention she needs. She is very loving and friendly, but doesn't like to sit still for very long. She needs an active family to give her lots of time and attention, and a securely fenced yard to safely play in with her family. Molly would also profit form some training.

Comments: He was the result of his mother having an unexpected litter that the owner couldn't keep. Very shy and a little timid when he was a young pup, Presley was nevertheless full of energy and very playful. He was soon adopted and lived on the farm for 8 years. However, his family was moving out of state to a large city, and unable to take Presley with them. He has always lived outside, and isn't much for traveling in a car. He is very friendly and affectionate, and a very good watch dog. You don't need a doorbell with him, as he will let you know when someone is approaching your property. Presley needs a securely fenced yard to exercise and play in with his family.

Comments: Abandoned by her previous owner, Kylee was rescued by a caring person, however the landlord would not permit them to keep her. This young lady has been through a lot for being at such a tender age, and having been passed from home to home. She prefers women over men and is not comfortable being around young children, though older children might be okay. Kylee is okay with cats however she is not trusting of large dogs. This girl needs a patient, understanding owner who is willing to provide her with the training she needs, and reassure her that she is loved and has found her forever home. She also needs a securely fenced yard to exercise and play in with her family.

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: Titan came to the shelter as a stray after he was found running the streets along with his mother and brother. He was adopted shortly thereafter, however he returned to the shelter on 02/24/2020 due to problems within the family. During his short stay in a home he did make progress with his training, but may still need some additional training. Titan is a friendly boy, but also a very strong one, and he might be a bit overwhelming for a very young child. He needs an inside home with a securely fenced yard to run around and play in with his family.

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.
