About our adoptions . . .
To adopt an animal, you must live within approximately 100 miles of one of our adoption sites (Benld 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.
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 at 217.835.2538 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 [email protected] , 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.
If you are interested in adopting any of these animals, you may begin the process by completing the application below and emailing it to: [email protected] , or you may bring the application to your appointment if you prefer.
