All Mobile Adoptions have been suspended until further notice,
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.



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:
  • Cats $50
  • Kittens $60
  • Dogs $75
  • Puppies (under 6 months) $125

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.

He was found roaming around as a stray. so they took him to a vet to have him checked out.  When the results indicated that he was FIV positive they couldn't keep him because they already had other cats.  So they brought Jax to the shelter so that a good home could be found for him.  Inasmuch as he is FIV positive he must be the only cat in a home, or live in a home with only other FIV positive cats.  He is a very sweet and friendly guy, who is just looking for a home where he can live like a normal cat in a relaxed and loving atmosphere.

Kuru
Code:  2396
​Admitted: 10/25/2019
Approximate Date of Birth: 01/17/2019
Sex: Female
Breed: Husky/Shepherd
Color: White and Black
Markings: White & Black (Merle)
Size: Large
Microchip: 603-313-895
Heartworm: Negative
Housetrained? Yes
Good With Dogs? Yes

Posted: 01/12/2021
Relinquished by her owner; life keeps getting in Kuru's way of staying in a home.  New baby and no time for her, relationship split and unable to keep her, job further away and not home enough.  She found a four legged friend when she moved in with Ghost and they became very good pals.  She loves having a doggie friend and she wouldn't mind if Ghost was adopted with her; in fact, she would be delighted.  She knows that might not be possible but she would prefer to have another dog in the house, preferably a male.  She is a beautiful girl, shy and cautious when she meets new people, especially men and, though she will get used to men living in the house, it may take her a while.  Due to her being nervous she most likely would not do well with young children in the household.  She is looking for a patient understanding human that will provide her with lots of love and attention and lots of reassuring one on one time.  She is a climber and so she must always be supervised.  Kuru needs an inside home and a large securely fenced yard to exercise and play in.  She has been spayed, vaccinated including rabies, wormed, tested for heartworm and micro-chipped.

If you would like to give Jax or Kuru a loving home,
just pick up the phone and call:  217.835.2538

If no answer, leave a message (speak slowly & clearly),
​and someone will get back to you.
