Gypsy was brought to the shelter as a stray, but was never claimed.  She is an interesting mix.  She has some mastiff characteristics, but not the size. She could be mixed with retriever and some other shorter, smaller breed. 

Gypsy weighs 40 lbs and is likely to end up just under 60 lbs by my best guess.

We have her spayed, UTD on shots, flea-treatment, dewormer and HW preventive.

Gypsy's adoption fee is $150 with a completed/approved adoption application.

The one thing I've noticed with Gypsy is that she is a gobbler about her food bowl and is very likely to be food aggressive toward other dogs.  Other than that she is cute, friendly and playful.

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.
