Adoptions
To adopt 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 that 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 us to take back the adopted animal.
Adoption Fees:
All pets have been spayed/neutered, are up to date with shots/vaccinations, and have been micro-chipped. If you have any questions about the animals, or want to know more about the shelter, please call us at 217.835.2538.
Mobile Adoption Information:
NOTE: All times are 12 noon until 4:00 pm, unless announced otherwise.
For more information about mobile adoptions, please contact the shelter at 217.835.2538, or you may contact the participating stores:
NOTE: From time to time BAAP holds special adoptions at other locations. When such events are scheduled we will post that information below.
Should it be necessary to cancel an adoption due to potentially hazardous weather, or due to a conflict in the schedule, we will strive to post that information as soon as possible.
We suggest that you check this page for the latest information before traveling to one of our mobile adoptions.

Comments: Her owner had too many cats to care for, as when they start popping up at your door one after another it's easy to quickly become overwhelmed, as one can suddenly turn into 20, all looking for a better life. Cortana had an injured leg when she arrived at the shelter, which was already healing on its own, and she was also very pregnant by the time she arrived. It was also determined that Cortana was POSITIVE FELINE LEUKEMIA.

Good with Cats: Unknown

Profile Updated: 01/24/2015

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.
