SHELTER UPDATE
December 6, 2020
If you wish to adopt or bring in an animal, or come to the shelter for any reason, you should first call 217.835.2538 for an appointment. All inquiries relative to animals should also be directed to that number. If you do not receive an answer, leave your name, number, and reason for calling, and someone will return your call as soon as possible. Please speak slowly and clearly when leaving us a message. Anyone coming to the shelter must wear a mask — for your protection — as well as ours. Adoption hours are from 1-5 p.m., 7 days a week.
Animals currently available for adoption at the shelter may be viewed on our website at www.benldadoptapet.org . You may download an application ahead of time by going to our “Adoptable Cats” or “Adoptable Dogs” pages, and clicking on “Application for Adoption”. Our website does not support autofill (filling out an application on-line), so you will need to fill it out manually, then fax (217.835.2537), e-mail, mail via USPS, or bring it to the shelter with you.
Our mobile animal adoptions remain suspended, however our cat condos at Petco in Springfield are now open. At this time we are uncertain when our mobile adoptions may resume, but we will publicize this information as soon as it becomes available. These are difficult times for us and that is why we need your support now more than ever, in order that we may continue rescuing, rehabilitating and placing abused and abandoned animals in good loving homes.
Our greatest need remains for cash donations to allow us to continue paying our day to day operating expenses. Also, a list of needed supplies (updated daily) can be found on our website at www.benldadoptapet.org and Facebook page at facebook.com/benldadoptapet/ . You may arrange to have supplies sent directly to the shelter by placing your order through chewy.com . If you have any questions or concerns regarding anything of a general nature, please call 217.891.0502.
Thank you for your continued support!

Can you lend us a paw?
Things have gotten a little hectic here at Benld Adopt-A-Plate, as we find ourselves struggling to accommodate a veritable flood of cats and dogs who have suddenly become homeless. Times are tough for a lot of folks and some have been forced to make the heart wrenching decision to give up their pets that they dearly love, but can no longer care for. For our part, we remain committed to the goal of taking in as many animals as we possibly can, and caring for them until such time as they can be placed in a good permanent home.
However, our ability to care for all these animals has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has seen us suffer a drastic loss of revenue even as our services to the community are needed now more than ever. So far, thanks to the generosity of our community and our dedicated hard working staff, we have managed to keep things going pretty well but, quite frankly, we neeed to reach out and ask for your help.
In order to conserve our funds so that we may pay our operating costs, including some large veterinary bills, we depend on day to day donations of food, cat litter and cleaning supplies. Of late, due in large part to the high number of animals that we have taken in, we find ourselves running critically short of many of these items. Therefore, we are asking those who are in a position to do so to please consider donating any of the following items to us at this time.
Purina Puppy Chow complete, Pedigree Small Dog chicken, Bleach (any brand), Laundry Detergent HE, Disinfectant Wipes, and 13 gallon trash liners. Cash donations are also most welcome, and may be made to: Benld Adopt-A-Pet, PO Box 53, Benld IL 62009. If you need assistance with anything, or desire more information, please call 217.891.0502.

Helpful Hearts |
09.03.2019
We have just revised the way our Helpful Hearts animals are listed on our website. We previously had these animals listed on both our "Adoptable Cats/Dogs" pages, as well as on a page entitled "Helpful Hearts". This resulted in both confusion, and a duplication of time and effort in maintaining these pages.
We now have our Helpful Heart animals designated as such on our "Adoptable Cats/Dogs" pages, and have deleted these listings on our "Helpful Hearts" page. Our "Helpful Hearts" page now contains only an explanation of how the program is administered, an example of our application to sponsor a Helpful Heart animal, and a link whereby you may download a copy of this application.
To choose a Helpful Heart, you need only go to the "Adoptable Cats/Dogs" page, where you will see a red heart and the words "Helpful Heart" following the animals name at the top of the listing. If an animal already has a Helpful Heart Sponsor, that information is displayed to the right of this. It is possible for an animal to have more than one Helpful Heart Sponsor.
If you have any questions about anything on our website relating to our Helpful Hearts Program, please contact us at 217.891.0502, or e-mail us by clicking on link below.
