Southern Illinois Pointer and Animal Rescue's adoption process
Additional adoption info
Application, home check, vet reference check. You will sign a contract stating that the proper care will be given and dogs will be treated as a family member, not chained or tied and must live indoors. We also require that the animal be returned to us if it is not the right fit for your home. Fees vary depending on how much we have invested in the animal, but usually far less than we have spent.

About Southern Illinois Pointer and Animal Rescue
We are a married couple who lost our beloved pointer of 10+ years. We went looking for another to rescue and were overwhelmed by the amount of dogs discarded in kill shelters daily. We adopted one and soon another and another. Soon we were getting contacted by pointer rescues across the country asking if we could take more. We decided it was time to start our own rescue and since we have a small farm, we had room. We have also saved other breeds along the way and still have some available for adoption. We have also rescued hoses, alpacas and cats.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
