Shelter FAQs

We are a rural county animal control facility, located about 1 hour from both St. Louis, MO and Springfield, IL. Unfortunately, we are almost always at full capacity---meaning 30+ dogs and even more cats. With less than 46,000 people in our entire county, we welcome out-of-town adopters. We also welcome relationships with rescues who are willing to take transfers. We need you!
We LOVE visitors and adopters from outside our area. We are in Carlinville, Illinois and serve Macoupin County.

Additional adoption info

Our stray animals are held 10 days to see if the owner will claim them. If no one claims the animal, the animal is put up for adoption. We also accept owner surrendered animals (for a fee) if space allows. Also...Due to Illinois state law, no animals can be adopted without being fixed first. So, if the pet you select is spayed/neutered, you can take it home right away. If not, adoption will be finalized after our next spay/neuter clinic.

We welcome donations of cat litter, Purina cat and dog food, martingale collars, leashes, peanut butter, and more. Use our address for shipping from Amazon, Chewy or other site. Or drop off during business hours! Thank you! Macoupin County Animal Control 21780 Route 4 Carlinville, IL 62626
