Colby was the shyest of a litter of puppies we adopted out.  We hoped he would come out of his shell more in an adoptive home, with a big brother and former adoptee mastiff.  However, unfortunately, Colby has remained super shy of strangers and has separation anxiety.  Colby was returned for us to try again to find him a quiet home, ideally where someone was there a lot, because he would love to be with a person.  Colby is great with all other dogs and would do well with a more confident dog as a sidekick.

Clay County Animal Rescue & Shelter is located at 14400 Hwy. 45 in Louisville, IL. Our phone number is 618-665-3005.  The shelter is open to the public 1-3 Monday-Saturday.   Sundays we are open 1-4 to the public.   If those times don't work, please call to set up a time to visit.

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.
