Dogs in cages are hard to judge, because more than anything, they just desparately want out, and who could blame them? Marley today got walked and was a perfect gentleman on the leash. He was easy to correct and was content to walk loose leash most of the way, which is shocking in a shelter dog, because they're all so pent up and ready to go. Marley was relinquished so is available for adoption. I can tell you he loves kids, because he was thrilled to see my daughter, and that I was very impressed with him. I hope someone breaks him out of the shelter and gives him a new lease on life. Plus, he's a total photo ham.

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.
