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.

Puppies
Back in July, we took in a very sweet young Pit Bull Terrier named Cinnamon who, shortly after entering the shelter, presented us with a litter of adorable little puppies. Information relevant to all of them appears immediately below, while that pertaining to each individual puppy appears beneath it's picture.
Date of Birth: 07/26/2020

Comments: Born at the shelter, they are all spunky little guys and gals who love playing with each other and, with 7 of them, they get a lot of play time. They are looking for a home with someone who knows and understands their breed. They need to be kept well socialized with people and pets and, as they are just babies yet, they will need a lot of time, attention and training. They have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, wormed, and micro-chipped, and are ready to go to their forever homes.

And More Puppies
Mom gave birth unexpectedly to 8 cute little puppies, and the family was a bit overwhelmed, so they gave them to us so that we could place them in good, loving homes. Information relevant to all of them appears immediately below, while that pertaining to each individual puppy appears beneath it's picture.

The owner had an unplanned litter and couldn't afford to keep them all, so he relinquished them to the shelter so that they could all find their forever homes. They needed a little extra TLC when they arrived, but they are all thriving, plump and energetic little guys and gals now. They are very happy, active puppies though still babies, so they will need a lot of time and attention. They are looking for an inside home with a fenced in yard to safely play with their new families. They have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, wormed, and micro-chipped, and are ready to find their forever homes and families.

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: Gracie is a sweetheart, a big ole cuddly teddy bear, who sometimes doesn't realize how big she is. She loves people and wants attention from everyone she meets. If someone comes to the door she doesn't bark, just looks at you like she is waiting for the door to open so whoever is there will come in and play with her. She loves kids of all ages; have to watch the little ones because of her size. She loves her people so much that she gets a little anxious when she is left alone for even a short time. She needs someone who has experience with her breeds and a very large yard with a 6 ft privacy fence for her to run and play with her family, as she can escape a short chain length fence. She is Spayed, vaccinated including Rabies, wormed, tested for HW and Micro-chipped.

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: Relinquished to the shelter by her owner. Life keeps getting in Kuru's way of staying in a home. New baby and no time for her, and then relationship split and unable to keep her. She is a beautiful girl, very shy and cautious when she meets new people especially men. She will get used to men living in the house but takes her a while. She gets along with other dogs, loves her blankets. Due to her being very nervous she most likely would not be good with young children in the household. Kuru needs a patient understanding adopter who will provide her with lots of love and attention and reassuring one on one time. She has been Spayed, vaccinated including Rabies, wormed, tested for Heart worm and Micro-chipped.

Comments: Relinquished by his current owner who took him in because his original owner was not taking care of him as he was very thin. She already had several animals, so her intent was to get a little weight on him and find him his forever home. He has been in a couple of different homes already and is hoping his next home and family will be for life. He knows a few basic command and he is still young and very trainable, so professional training would be a plus. He loves people and wants lots of love and attention. Loki would thrive in an active home where he has regular exercise and a job to do. He needs an experienced, strong, dog savvy owner. He is looking for an inside home with a large fenced in yard to run off some of his energy and play with his new family. He has been neutered, vaccinated including rabies, wormed, tested for heart worm and micro-chipped.

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: He lived with his previous owner, an elderly man, till he could no longer care for him. Mister is a sweet little guy, it just takes him a little time to warm up to you. He is older and can be a little grumpy, so would not be comfortable around children as they are loud and move too fast for him. He prefers to be the only pet and have all your attention for himself. He had been with the same person for years and had not had a lot of other visitors, so he is a little unsure meeting new people. He was house broken, but will need some reinforcement and understanding if he has an accident. He will make a great companion for the right person who will be patient and understanding, and give him the time and attention he needs to adjust. He has been neutered, vaccinated including Rabies, wormed, tested for Heart worm and Micro-chipped.

Comments: Relinquished to us by his owner as the result of an unplanned litter, Necko was just a young lad when he came to us. He has had some misfortune along the way but he has not given up hope. It seems life keeps getting in his way; baby coming, working more hours and no time, and other dogs in household jealous of him, his owner loved him very much and he loved her, but due to unexpected health issues was unable to care for him. Make sure you are committed to love and care for him for the rest of his life. He is a good boy, just needs a stable home, a savvy dog owner, and lots of love. He is friendly, affectionate, loves to snuggle and has lots of love to give. He is looking for an inside home with a fenced in yard to safely play with his family. He has been neutered, vaccinated, wormed, tested for Heart worm, and Micro-chipped.

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: Rascal was relinquished to us by his owner who had no time to provide him with the attention or training that he needed. He is a cute little guy, very active, but a bit timid until he gets to know you. He hasn't been around a lot of people or other animals. Rascal really needs a very patient and understanding owner, who will provide him with the training and attention that he needs. He was adopted on 06/21/2018 and returned on 07/08/2018. He had spent so much of his young life in a kennel that he can be nippy when he doesn't want to go back in.

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: 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.
