My personality

My story

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

A note from Jessie:
"Hi! My name is Jessie and I was found as a stray on I-55. I came here on 5/11, and am really hoping for a forever home ASAP! The folks here are nice, but its very loud. In my opinion, living in a home with a family is so much better! I'm kind, gentle, walk pretty good on a leash and know how to sit. I can be a tiny bit nervous about new situations, but with some encouraging kind words, I'm okay within a minute or two. I like other dog pals and I absolutely love kids! My dream would be to live with a young family with littles OR maybe with a grandpa and grandma whose kiddos come to visit. I'd also love to have my own blanket or dog bed, if its not too much to ask. More than anything, I want to be part of your life; not put on a chain in the back of the yard or left alone in a dog pen. So, if you are looking for a loyal buddy to make you smile, I'm your girl! "

We do ADOPTIONS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, on a first-come/first serve basis. The best way to make an appointment is to click the blue "Book Now" button at the top of our Facebook Page. Since we do first-come, first-serve adoptions, we highly recommend making an appointment asap if you want this pet. Just write "JESSIE" in the note section of the appointment form, so we know who you want to see. In many cases, you can take the pet home the same day, so come prepared. 🙂 Appointments are available:

Fri. & Sat.~ 8:30-Noon
***NOTE: Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines; all required before adoptions are finalized. CASH OR CHECK ONLY. If you RENT, we need written confirmation from your landlord that you can have a pet.

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!
