Gigi was relinquished to the shelter from a puppy mill along with her kennel mates, who are all being retired from raising puppies.  While her life at a puppy mill was not as bad as some, it seems, because her enclosure was large and she is not in horrible shape, Gigi has never had a home of her own. 

Every dog should have a home of their own at some point.  Here's hoping we can find one for Gigi.

Gigi had a mouth full of rotten teeth.  Turns out ALL of her teeth had to be pulled when she had her dental.  She will feel a lot better with the rotten teeth gone.  Gigi was spayed and heartworm tested.  She is heartworm negative and we have started her on heartworm preventive.

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.
