This little dog was found dumped in the country.  He was surviving on a rotten deer carcass and living in a culvert.  He was shy at first and hard to catch, but with some TLC and time in a foster home he is now a loving and very sweet dog.

Here's hoping we find a forever home for this cute little dog.

The Clay County Animal Shelter is located at 14400 Hwy. 45 in Louisville, IL. Their phone number is 618-665-3005.  The shelter is open to the public 1-3 M-F.   Sundays we are open 1-4 to the public.  We have adoption events every 1st and 3rd Saturday from 10-2 at Orscheln's in Flora.  If those times don't work, please call to set up a time to visit.

The adoption fee is $50 for dogs and includes vaccination (one shot of 5 way for adult dogs and two shots of 5 way two weeks apart for puppies as well as deworming) as well as microchipping, which is now mandatory by state law. On dogs we have spayed/neutered, we ask for the spay/neuter fee to be covered as well.  We get a shelter rate for spay/neuter, so our rates are $55-70 for male dogs and $75-90 for female dogs.

All cats are spayed/neutered prior to adoption.  Kittens (under six months of age) are $40.  Cats older than six months are $20.  It costs us more than that to spay/neuter/microchip/vaccinate and deworm the kittens and cats, but we subsidize the adoption fees to help save cat and kitten lives.

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.
