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

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

Ike has bad teeth and is in need of a dental, which he will get on Thursday when he is under sedation for his neuter.

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.
