Sophie was relinquished by her owner because she and two other boxers were getting out of their pen and getting into the livestock, killing goats and chasing horses.  The owners said the behavior got worse over time.   Sophie has not been aggressive with people or other dogs, but would not be good around cats or livestock. 

We will be getting Sophie fixed, vaccinated for rabies and heartworm tested.  We have already vaccinated her with Distemper/parvo and Bordatella vaccines as well as put Advantage Multi on her.  She will be microchipped at the point of adoption.

Sophie's adoption fee is $150 with a completed/approved adoption application which can be found on our website: www.claycountyshelter.com 

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.
