My story

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

Meet Tamale!🐾🌶️

Despite what his name suggests, this guy is far from spicy. Tamale's sweet personality and handsome looks make everyone fall in love with him!

Tamale is a 60 pound Staffordshire terrier mix who would loveeee to be home for Christmas and to be able to watch the ball drop on New Years Eve. Tamale wants to remind his future family to let Santa know his address will have changed from "shelter" to "forever family!"

Come meet Tamale and take him HOME for the holidays! He can't wait to finally have his very own stocking hung on the fireplace.

Tamale is currently waiting for his neuter appointment and rabies, but is available for foster for the time being!
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!
