Geiger was picked up as a a stray north of Xenia and unclaimed.  He tested heartworm positive when we were getting him neutered and vaccinated for rabies.

We put him on doxycycline for one month and have had him on Advantage Multi (a monthly heartworm preventive/flea treatment /dewormer) as his treatment plan.  We took him back in to test for heartworms 11/27/18 and he tested negative, which is great news!  He should only need to be kept on hw preventive now like any other dog.

We reduced Geiger's adoption fee to $50 when he was HW positive and will leave it as such to help him find a 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.
