Dakota was relinquished to the shelter through no fault of his own. He loves to run (though he always runs back to check on you and doesn't run off), swim in the pond, play fetch, swim in the pond, run, and did I mention swim?

Dakota was an inside dog, so my guess is he is housetrained. He is currently penned in an outdoor kennel in foster and gets to go on long romps daily with the rest of the dogs.

Here's hoping we can find a great home for this guy. He came to us al ready neutered.  Dakota is heartworm negative.  We tested him Sunday. Dakota's adoption fee is only $50 and somebody is going to get a great dog!

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.
