News and Events ...
Around the shelter . . .
Though our shelter employees do work hard, they also like to lighten things up a bit from time to time as they go about their daily chores. The pictures below are just a sample of how both employees and animals go about making the daily routine not so routine, but fun as well.
Above: Sissy always finds her way into the little kitten condos here at BAAP and, on this particular morning, decided she wasn't going to move on her own. Deanna therefore delivered a very happy Sissy to us in the office -- on a platter!
Right; top and bottom: Cortana lends a helping paw to MaKensie while she cleans her room and helps keep her warm by acting as a scarf.

Hold me just a little bit tighter . . .
Meeting new people can be stressful for any dog, but it's nice to have a friend you can rest your head on to decompress. Stephanie was able to catch this sweet moment of Johnny, a male Chihuahua, getting a comforting snuggle from Mia at our shelter. If you are interested in adopting this sweet boy (also shown on our "Adoptable Dogs" page), just give us a call at 217.835.2538.
SHELTER UPDATE

Our Adoption Hours Have Changed
Beginning August 3rd, our office will be open for adoptions Wednesday through Monday, from 1-5 p.m., by appointment only. Anyone entering the shelter must wear a mask. To adopt or relinquish an animal, you must first call the shelter at 217.835.2538 for an appointment and/or authorization. All inquiries relative to animals should also be directed to that number.
Animals currently available for adoption at the shelter may be viewed on our website at www.benldadoptapet.org . You may download and submit an application ahead of time by going to our “Adoptable Cats” or “Adoptable Dogs” pages, and clicking on “Adoption Application”. If you don’t have PDF enabled you may print it off. We prefer to have your application prior to your appointment if possible.
A list of needed supplies (updated daily) can be found on our website at www.benldadoptapet.org and Facebook page at facebook.com/benldadoptapet/ . Supplies may be dropped off at the shelter between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., 7 days a week.

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.
