Charlie is a very special dog.  He's an amazing athlete.  He can jump out of his pen no matter what, though he just goes and lays down on the door mat the better to be right there in case you need him.  He is smart and figures out very quickly the rules and regulations.  He is loyal and worries that the other dogs aren't watching over things like he can. 

Charlie needs a home in the country.  He would be unhappy in town.  He needs room to run.  He loves to go on long walks.  Charlie hates a kennel and I imagine would be pretty miserable tied up.  Charlie would be a perfect farm dog.  He is that dog that would like to go everywhere with you and would be the loyal tried and true companion through thick and thin.

Heartworm negative.

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.
