My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bob is pretty near perfect, in our eyes-- and his bob tail makes him even more lovable. Bob came to us from an owner who clearly didn't do well by him. Bob came to us with a horribly scratched up face and needed a lot of vetting, including an IV for severe dehydration. Fast forward to today, Bob is so forgiving of the human race! We have promised Bob he won't go back to a bad home again but instead, we are on the hunt for a beautiful family in a loving home. Bob seems good with other kitties but we would need to test him with dogs. He should be good with kids provided they are respectful of his space. He is content with being held in your arms and we think that's a pretty great start to find a forever happy home with the perfect family!

2.

Submit Application

In most cases, applications are reviewed immediately.

3.

Sign Adoption Contract

If your application is approved immediately, you can fill out the adoption contract right away.

4.

Pay Fee

Adoption fees are $100 for cats, and $175-220 for dogs. Includes spay/neuter, vaccinations and microchip! $12 for tag if Macoupin resident.

5.

Take the Pet Home

If dogs/cats are spayed/neutered, they can go home with you same day. If not, arrangements will be made.

Additional adoption info

Our stray animals are held 10 days to see if the owner will claim them. If no one claims the animal, the animal is put up for adoption. We also accept owner surrendered animals (for a fee) if space allows. Also...Due to Illinois state law, no animals can be adopted without being fixed first. So, if the pet you select is spayed/neutered, you can take it home right away. If not, adoption will be finalized after our next spay/neuter clinic.

More about this shelter

We are a rural county animal control facility, located about 1 hour from both St. Louis, MO and Springfield, IL. Unfortunately, we are almost always at full capacity---meaning 30+ dogs and even more cats. With less than 46,000 people in our entire county, we welcome out-of-town adopters.

We also welcome relationships with rescues who are willing to take transfers. We need you!
