Sailor was picked up as a stray on the Sailor Springs Road, thus the name.  He was never claimed, so we got him neutered and discovered he was heartworm positive.  We have had him on one month of doxycycline at the shelter and five months of Advantage Multi now as part of his treatment plan.

Sailor is a beautiful blue and white pit bull.  We have given him his Distemper/Parvo vaccine, bordatella vaccine, rabies vaccination at the vet, microchipped, dewormed and have on Advantage Multi.

We have reduced his adoption fee since he is heartworm positive, though he should clear from that in 6-10 months.

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.
