About our adoptions . . .
Revised 03/07/2021
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, 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.
If you are interested in adopting any of these animals, you may begin the process by downloading the adoption form (button below), and submitting it to: Benld Adopt-A-Pet, PO Box 53, Benld IL 62009-0053, or e-mail to: aap1@frontiernet.net .
(After downloading form, you may use the fill & sign feature of your PDF app to complete application before e-mailing to us.)
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.

Beans
Chihuahua ______________________________________________________ Adult * Male * Small * Red ______________________________________________________ About CHARACTERISTICS Independent, Protective COAT LENGTH Short HOUSE-TRAINED Unknown HEALTH Vaccinations up to date, neutered PREFERS A HOME WITHOUT Cats, Children ADOPTION FEE $100 |
Meet Beans
My name is Beans, I am like your typical spicy Chihuahua. I was rescued from a life without a home and brought to BAAP in 2016. I am not a dog for a first time pet parent as I require someone with experience to help me be the best version of myself. I am reserved and cautious, it takes me a while to warm up to people. Some things I'm not a fan of are children and cats, I am also picky on what dogs I will be friends with, so my new home would be free of those allowing me to have your attention. I enjoy playing with my toys and taking walks, as well as snuggling up with a soft toy. I am hopeful of finding my forever home soon. I have been neutered, Vaccinated including Rabies, wormed, tested negative for Heartworms and micro-chipped. Help Support Beans

Meet Cali
Hi! My name is Cali and I love you already! Cali is a sweet princess who is ready to tap dance her way into your heart. She has tons of energy to run and play. She loves to play with all the toys and loves to be the center of attention. Cali has a congenital skin disease called ichthyosis, which means she was born with a defect in the way her skin cells mature, causing the large scale/flakes across her whole body. There is no cure and symptomatic treatments can help manage secondary infections. Don't let that scare you away, while Cali does require a little more than your average dog, it is mostly making sure she gets a bath regularly and medication when needed for secondary infections. She has been spayed, vaccinated including Rabies, de-wormed, tested for heart worms, and micro-chipped. Help Support Cali

Meet Cassidy
My name is Cassidy, a wonderful but shy Great Dane that is searching for a home that will allow me to come out of my shell at my own pace. I get along with most other dogs but haven't met any cats. Because I am a little timid I might do best in home that isn't very active with children, or is just calmer in general, with a large fenced yard to stretch my long legs. I am mostly housebroken but will need time to learn how things work at my new home. I had glaucoma in my left eye that resulted in me having to have it removed. Now that I am healed I'm ready to find a place to call home. I have been spayed, microchipped, treated for heartworms, and vaccinated including rabies. Help Support Cassidy

Meet Loki
Howdy friends, the name is Loki, please don't forget it. I am a wonderful boy once I get to know you but do take a little bit of time to learn you are a good person. I am not a dog for a first time pet parent as I require someone with experience to help me be the best version of myself. One of my favorite things is getting treats from new people or playing in a large fenced yard. I have learned the basic commands but a family willing to work with a professional trainer would be great to help me become the dog I'm meant to be. Ideally an indoor home without children or cats and a pet parent that is used to my kind of fun would be the perfect fit for me. With me you get a great dog that has been neutered, vaccinated including rabies, wormed, Negative for heartworms, and micro-chipped. Help Support Loki

Meet Luna
Luna is the name and playing is my game. I'm an active Huskey mix that can jump as high as the moon, hence the name Luna. I'd love a large fenced yard to run and play in, but I can not be left unsupervised for any period of time as I will jump over the fence, especially if I see another animal on the other side. I love all people but because I can be a bull in a china shop I'd do best in a home with older children. Speaking of homes I'd do well in, one without any other animals is the home for me. I do not get along with other dogs and being a Huskey mix I don't get along with cats. I know a few commands like sit, lay and shake. I am spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, negative for heartworms and wormed. Help Support Luna

Meet Pops
Found wandering the streets along with a puppy. He was very thin, skin red and sore from dermatitis. All of that is 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. He is a very sweet, pooch, little leery of men but otherwise great with most people. Gets along with most dogs, and kids. He is very strong and will pull when you walk him, 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 returned recently, was experiencing separation anxiety after quarantine and one of his persons was no longer home all the time with him. Help Support Pops
