Description by Forest's finder and foster:  This lil' guy has been hanging out with me every day. He loves running at full speed, going ninja on my ankles, and supervising the painting of the garden stones.

Forest showed up near my workplace alone and near a busy street. I am fostering him till he can be adopted. Thanks to the Clay County Animal Rescue & Shelter (CCARS), Forest will be vaccinated, neutered and microchipped -- all for a low adoption fee of $50.

Forest will be available to adopt as soon as neutered, so by late June.

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.
