Tootsie and her sisters, Tink and Trixie, are a very unusual mix.  Mama dog is a 10 lb Benji type terrier mix (last picture) and daddy dog was a blue and white pitbull.  I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen both dogs myself. 

So, Tootsie and Trixie, for all the world, look like miniature pitbulls!  Tootsie is staying small.  I'm guessing she ends up under 20 lbs.  Sister, Trixie, is the biggest of the litter.  I'm guessing she ends up around 20-25 lbs?  Their sister, Tink, is smaller with shorter legs, more like her mama. 

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.
