Willy is friendly and loves attention.  He is missing one of his eyes probably shot at with a gun, when he was running at large out in the country.

Willy was adopted out with his packmate, Billy from Clay County.  He was picked up by Wayne County Animal Control who called us to get the phone number for Willy's adopter based on his microchip.  The owners were found but did not come to pick up Willy.

Willy's long time foster, Arletta, asked Wayne County to call if no rescues pulled Willy for transport.  When Wayne County sent Arletta an email that no rescues had pulled him and that Willy was at risk of being euthanized, Arletta contacted me and went to get him.

I'm just glad Arletta loved Willy.  He deserves another chance.  We hope to find it for him.

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.
