If we had a "Best Smile" category at the shelter, Hobo would be a contender. While I consider myself lucky to get one smile from a shelter dog during a quick photo session, Hobo had a full range of smiles, from coy, to slight to cheesy to fake laugh.

Hobo is a young adult beagle mix looking for a forever home. He is spunky and would like room to run. Hobo needs to meet other dogs in the household to see if they share his sense of humor. We have heard one place he lived th e other dogs didn't and so that didn't work out.

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.
