My story

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

Helloooo Ringooo!❤

This 1 year old Staffordshire Terrier mix is such a people lover! He always wants attention from anyone he meets, and you will absolutely want to give him all the pets and cuddles. He is too cute!

Ringo loves to spend his days here at HSSI playing will all the toys. If you give him a ball, he will be content for the entire day. He is still learning basic commands, mostly not to jump when he's gets too excited! He's getting there, but would definitely do best with a family willing to commit to puppy training.

This bulldozer of a guy has been with us for 4 months too long and would love to finally be introduced to a home environment. He has spent most of his life on the streets and then in a shelter with staff who are not able to give him all the attention and affection that he truly deserves. Please help Ringo find a home!

Ringo is up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, and only in need of his rabies vaccine. Until he is neutered, he will be available for foster to adopt. He has been through soooo much in his short life and his biggest wish is to ring in the New Year with his new family!
All animals must be spayed or neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated before finalizing adoption.

Additional adoption info

Adoptions fees vary depending on what of companion animal you decide to adopt from us.

Dogs: $225 Dogs or special needs $200
Cats: $125 Cats or special needs $100

All animals must be spayed/neutered, microchipped, and rabies vaccinated before they can go home. If these procedures are not already done at the time of adoption, an appointment must be made and the cost of these procedures CAN be included in the cost of adoption under most circumstances which will be discussed at the time of adoption.

The potential adopter has to fill out a pre-adoption application before any adoption is finalized. The staff at our facility will go through the application with you to make sure your home is the best home possible for our shelter babies. Our first and foremost concern is for the happiness and welfare of the companion animals in our care.

For any other questions regarding the adoption process, please contact our shelter at 618 457 2362. We will try to answer any questions you may have.

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of Southern Illinois was first founded in 1956. We are an open-access shelter that accepts animals from three separate animal control officers, as well as the general public. We are mainly funded through donations and every little bit helps.

We work with a few independent rescue coordinators to place adoptable animals in high quality rescue programs.

As always, this would never have been possible without the kind and generous donations of our members and supporters. Please donate to help sustain this vital Life Saving program!
