Who is ready for summer 2.0 this week?! Our pets are ready to bask in the sun and take a romp around in the pool. All that's missing is their forever homes!

Stop by and see us tomorrow from 10:00am-5:00pm. Questions? Give our team a call at 618-235-3712.

The one time we’re THRILLED to score LOW!!!

We recently took the PetSmart Charities Accessibility Matrix, which measures how many barriers an organization has in their adoption process. Our score? -5 out of 22!

That’s right, we’re at the top of the class when it comes to keeping adoption low-barrier and welcoming for everyone. By reducing barriers while still making thoughtful adoption matches, we’re making sure people feel welcomed, supported, and ready to open their homes to pets in need.

And guess what? Low barriers = higher adoption numbers = more wagging tails and purring hearts finding their forever families.

So yes, we’re proudly celebrating this “failing grade.” Because when it comes to helping pets and people connect, being low is how we win big. 🐶❤🐱

Football 🏈 is back, the weather is getting chilly, and we all know what that means…Halloween is coming soon! 🎃

We are excited to show off our fall 🍂 collection of orange and black adoptable pets! We’re open Tuesday from 10-5 if you’d like to meet any of these guys and gals. We promise they’ll be a treat, not a trick.

Darla is searching (the cat trees...) high and low for her family!

Darla had a hard job when she came to us back in June- she was a new mother to three adorable kittens. Her babies are all adopted and now it's her turn to live the lavish life in a forever home!

This sweet and gentle little lady enjoys all the finer things in life. Sunny window naps, cuddles on the couch, and an extra snack or two at the end of a long day. Darla is about a year and a half old and is the most beautiful tortie with none of the torti-tude included. She's good with other cats, affectionate with people, and all around a great companion. All she is waiting on is you!

Come meet Darla during our open business hours! Questions? Give our team a call at 618-235-3712.

It’s the first Sunday of football season tomorrow, and our adoptable dogs and cats are ready to join your team! Whether you’re looking for a star quarterback to lead the play (hello, loyal pups) or the perfect couch-side commentator (we see you, cats), we’ve got the ultimate draft picks waiting to go home with you.

Come meet your new MVP from 10:00am-3:00pm tomorrow. Questions? Give our team a call at 618-235-3712.

Looking for a house hippo? A meatball terrier? A land seal? Great news- we have the CUTEST, squishiest, rolliest-polliest 8 week old puppies available for adoption tomorrow! There are 5 females and 4 males that are going to be here at the shelter waiting to meet you.

We'll be here from 10:00am-5:00pm. Questions? Give our team a call at 618-235-3712.

✨Feel Good Friday!✨

Our Egyptian Gods & Goddesses litter has officially had the ULTIMUTT glow-up! After 8 weeks in our care, these 9 little royals are getting spayed/neutered today and will be ready to meet their forever families tomorrow morning.

Raising a litter this long requires time, love, and a lot of resources. But seeing them healthy, happy, and ready for adoption makes it all worth it. These pups and their mom, Nefertiti, were transferred to us from our incredible partners at Gateway Pet Guardians. And thanks to our community's support and an amazing foster program, they are now ready to rule your couch instead of their kingdom.

When you become a BAHS Member, you’re not just helping puppies like these; you’re helping pets across all of St. Clair County and Southern Illinois get the second (and third) chances they deserve.

Join our BAHS Membership today and spread your love to animals in need across Southern Illinois.

We’re all ears over here — literally! Our adoptable dogs and cats are rocking some seriously fabulous ear styles, from floppy to pointy to “can-pick-up-satellite-radio.”

If you’re looking for a loyal friend who will always lend you an ear (and maybe steal your snacks), come meet them tomorrow from 10:00am-5:00pm. Questions? Give our team a call at 618-235-3712.

A wicked big THANK YOU to Blanquart's Rusty Gem Vintage Market for inviting our shelter pups to be part of the Witches Runway this past Sunday! Our dogs had a spell-tacular time strutting their stuff downtown and enjoying a much-needed Bark Break.

The best part? You don’t need a broomstick (or a pointy hat 🪄) to give a pup a break!

Anyone can do a Bark Break. Just stop by the shelter during business hours and whisk a dog away for a couple of hours of fun. No tricks, no training, no appointment, no commitment required.

Because sometimes, all it takes is a little magic (and a walk) to brighten a dog’s day. ✨🧙‍♀️🎃

Facebook let me know when I was making this post that it's World Beard Day! Our doodle Banjo (male, 1.5 years old, 45lbs) has the best beard ever- so much so that his fluff covers his whole body!

If you need a buddy to start an early no-shave-November with, come and see us tomorrow from 10:00am-5:00pm. Questions? Give our team a call at 618-235-3712.

Because our shelter is closed on Mondays, our operations/adoptions crew has literally never known the joy of a three-day weekend!

Our executive director noticed, and said that it wasn’t fair (she’s right).

Which means….you’re stuck with us today. Three funny girls who are NOT operations staff. We’re just here winging it, hoping the phones cooperate and nothing goes up in flames..🤣

So bear with us as we put our actual jobs on hold for the day. And remember we’re all just doing our best!!!
