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 me at 217.891.0502 or 217.965.4149, or e-mail me at bigaho@royell.org .

Our "Breeder" dogs have left, but others still need assistance ...
09/12/2019
We want to express our utmost appreciation to all those who contributed in any way to help these little guys and dolls, thus giving them the chance to know what it's like to live in caring, loving homes. We especially want to thank Dr. Saner and Coble Animal Hospital in Springfield for their assistance in this endeavor.
However, other animals at the shelter and those still to arrive in the future, will require expensive medical care, and so we are still accepting donations to this fund.
Thanks to all of you from all at Benld Adopt-A-Pet (and from the animals)!
