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.

Featured Pets of the Week

Scorpio
Breed: Domestic Long Hair
Approximate Date of Birth: 06/27/2018
Sex: Male
Size: Medium
Color: Black
Note: FIV Positive
House-trained: Yes
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: Yes
Good with Children: Yes
Posted: 06/14/2020
Updated: 07/27/2020
Comments: Relinquished by his owner, Scorpio wasn't getting a lot of one on one attention, as he shared his former home with a number of other cats, due to his folks not spaying or neutering them as they arrived. As a result of not having received much attention, Scorpio tends to be somewhat timid when he first meets someone for the first couple of times. But, if you are patient and understanding, and shower him with lots of love and attention, he will soon become your loyal companion. Scorpio is FIV Positive and must be an only cat or only with other FIV Positive cats, and not allowed outside.

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.
