Chewy is super cute and house broke.  He was picked up at large three times and his owners have not come to get him this third time.  We've waited well past the seven days and have left messages where he is.  We can only assume they aren't going to come get him this time.  As full as the shelter is, we need to find a new home for Chewy.  He is heartworm negative (Yay!) and so ready to get neutered and into his new home.  We plan to get him neutered Friday, but his adopter could get him before then with an approved application and take him to that neuter appointment.

Clay County Animal Rescue & Shelter is located at 375 Water Elm Lane, Flora, IL. Our phone number is 618-665-3005.  We are renovating our shelter so hours are by appointment only. 

The typical adoption fee for dogs is $150.  It includes vaccination, deworming , spay/neuter, heartworm testing on dogs of age and microchipping, which is now mandatory by state law.  Some dogs we discount to as little as $50 due to sponsorship.  Some dogs we ask a higher adoption fee, which helps us recoup expenses on heartworm treatment on other dogs.

All cats are spayed/neutered/vaccinated/flea treated/dewormed and microchipped prior to adoption.  Cat adoption fees range from $60-$100.  We spay/neuter/microchip/vaccinate and deworm all kittens and cats, prior to adoption.  Our shyer/less adoptable cats are classed as "barn cats" and are free with a completed/approved barn cat application, which can be found on our website.
