Riverbend Humane Society in Jerseyville, IL
Riverbend Humane Society is a private, non-profit no-kill shelter located at 23402 Crystal Lake Rd in Jerseyville, Illinois, in Jersey County, about 35 miles south of St. Louis, MO, with one other animal shelter or rescue also serving the county. Open Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 am to 3:30 pm and closed Mondays, the shelter has been saving lives and building families since 2006, caring for dogs and cats out of a single usable building on four acres near Route 109. Its mission is to provide loving care for neglected, abandoned, or abused dogs and cats, finding them permanent homes regardless of breed, size, or age, and it receives no federal or state funding, relying instead on adopters, volunteers, staff, and community support.
Before you go
Adopting from Riverbend Humane Society
Adoption process
At least one meet-and-greet with all family members is required, followed by an application that goes through a review process; the animal then gets a vet exam (and neutering if needed) before a scheduled "gotcha date" when an adoption contract is signed.
