My story

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

‼️🐾WARNING: CUTENESS OVERLOAD!🐾‼️
Our Best Man Butterscotch is looking for his forever home, and we can't wait to be able to tell him about all the applications we know he'll get!
This sweetheart came to us covered in ticks and pretty dinged up. Animal Control found him tied outside a house in the middle of a storm. Even with the rough few days we know he had, Butters was still happy to see us! He immediately made friends with all of our staff members and has definitely become a volunteer favorite.
One look at this cute face and we know you'll fall in love just like we did! Butters is in love with both dogs and cats, and "stranger" isn't a word in his vocabulary. He is always ready to greet any new person with butt wiggles and big face kisses. He has such a great, outgoing personality and his zoomies are totally unmatched!
We believe Butterscotch to be a beagle/pit mix, but as always this is just a best guess. Whatever he is, he's totally full of love to give his future family, and he can't wait to meet you!
Butters is around 50 pounds and up to date on his Distemper Parvo and Bordetella vaccines. He will be given his rabies vaccination before going home, where he will wait to be neutered.
If you are interested in taking a home a new, cuddly family member, pick Butters! He definitely won't disappoint!
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!
