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.

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: His owner got him at a flea market and took him (and his sister) home because she felt sorry for them.

Reginald was adopted shortly thereafter on 06/23/2018, but was returned on 09/09/2018 due to a family members allergies. Reginald is looking for an inside home with s large securely fenced yard to run around and play in with his new family.
