Tank was relinquished from a home where his original owner moved and left him in the care of those still living at the home.  We provided food for him for quite some time, but ultimately, the owners decided that being confined to a small outdoor pen and never getting out was no life for Tank, so they relinquished him to the shelter.

Unfortunately Tank is heartworm positive, but we will seek sponsorship money to help offset his heartworm treatment expense. 

Here's hoping we can find a forever home for Tank, so he can have a better life than what he had before.

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.
