Dixie is an interesting mix. The father is a Malamute and the mother is a Blue Heeler/Blue Tick hound. 

Dixie lived by a highway and strayed often enough we knew her by location and advised callers where she lived.  A citizen picked her up this year and took to their home.  We went to get her and the owners chose not to reclaim her.  Turns out Dixie has vision problems now due to cataracts.  Dixie is a nice dog looking for a forever home.  

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.
