Charity is the black lab mix mama dog dumped the day before she had puppies.  With no place to go, Charity scratched a hole in the dirt in the middle of a beanfield and gave birth to four puppies. 

We were alerted the following day and picked her and the puppies up to take to foster. 

Charity has now raised her puppies and been spayed and vetted to get her ready for her forever home.  She is a very loving dog looking for a forever home.

Charity's adoption fee is $150 and covers her spay, vaccinations, including rabies, deworming, flea-treatment and microchip.

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.
