This adorable little puppy is a result of a merle to merle breeding in australian sheperds which results in what are called "lethal whites" because they are so often euthanized by breeders due to deafness or blindness.  Thankfully, this puppy and the litter of puppies she was with were not killed, but were brought to our local shelter.

Little Trouble can see fine, but she is deaf.  This doesn't get in her way one bit, but she needs a dedicated owner or family who can give her a wonderful home and won't just be overwhelmed with her unbearable cuteness.  Because she IS irresistable.

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.
