Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Cotton is a sweet little 25lb, pint-sized girl who is great with kids and dogs. At just around a year old, Cotton has loved everyone she meets, including strangers, the vet, and the groomer! We have no idea why she came to us as a stray and was never claimed. Although she pretends to acts tough in her kennel (a good watch dog), this girl is an incredible lover who just wants to be in your lap. Cotton rides fantastic in the car; listening to country music as she looks out the window watching life go by. She likes to have a good time and will entertain you with her sillyness. We recently found out she loves to wade in the water: maybe a boating pal? Cotton continues to work on her leash training. Thankfully she strives to please and is a totally manageable size. If you are looking for a sweet, endearing, lap dog, Cotton is for you!

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!
