I am filled with anxiety and sadness today. please consider adopting from another rescue. I had a…read moreterrible encounter this evening with a representative/staff member named Jill. my family is going through a job loss and hardship right now. everyone knows how this inflation is costing everyone and I had Jill texting me demanding a neuter immediately or I can relinquish my pup. I can't afford it right now, we are struggling. My pup is thoroughly adapted in our home, happy, healthy, fed and safe. I can't imagine life without him. Jill is demanding, rude and inconsiderate to life's hardships. She wants licensing and order to be top priority. no other means considered. I'm baffled, hurt and just trying to survive right now. Giving us time is all I asked for. Being rude is enough to push me over the edge with what we are dealing with at this time. So many pets needing rescued and she wants to text and push her authority. Enough is enough.

Also please note, they will post about you regardless of your situation or rehoming needs and make you seem like a terrible person.

We recently adopted a puppy from here and left very satisfied and happy…read more There was lots of construction going on (they were getting a new facility built) and the woman greeted us and even wakes out to help us to the building. It was very muddy and she helped us get there. I had called ahead and asked if they had puppies. She said yes and was expecting us. We looked at the puppies, and were given ample information about eating habits, local vets, and so on. We ended up adopting the puppy and she was very kind throughout. I highly recommend this shelter. Also, the price to adopt is good too.

What does the 5 A's stand for? I'll translate for you, it means, Alton Area Animal Aid Association…read more They are a non-profit, no kill shelter that has been serving the Alton community for 65+ years. 5 A's is worthy of their 5 Star rating. They are a great small town, county shelter that takes good care of homeless dogs and cats. Recently they got some publicity for one of their residents who had been living in the shelter for 11 years. Wiggles had a tumor that was unoperateable, but 5 A's kept her and loved her. Finally after appearing on a local news channel, she found her forever home for her senior years. Being new to the Alton community, I stopped by to see what I could do or donate to help them with their cause and was impressed with the cleanliness of the shelter. I was also impressed with the friendliness and love I saw the staff and volunteers showing the resident animals. My house currently is full of four paws, but I now know what they need and will be donating regularly. When: January 2021 Why: Donations

Several bad experiences with calling them to get help for stray animals, they are very useless when…read moreit comes to the south end of Peoria and the outskirt towns of Peoria county, officer Barrick doesn't bother to do her job. Couldn't even "find" the dead dog on the side of the road even with an exact location, I had to go sit with the animal until she decided she was competent enough to do her job and come to the sight that I had been at waiting. She rather worry about animals that are on their own property minding their own business, quite literally. Next time I have a stray animal or abused animal situation I will be calling elsewhere..Somewhere that actually cares about saving animals.

First I would like to say that PAWS and PCAPS are one in the same…read more PCAPS has to take in all animals. They can't say they are full or they don't have the resources for your the animal you have found. They are doing what they can to return animals to there loving homes. The ones they cant they try hard to find loving homes for. Common miss conception is that there is a time limit on the animals. They do everything they can to find homes for animals. Including trying to work with rescues and doing discount adoptions. Even working with national Fondations to offer low and sometimes no cost adoptions. They are here for the community and are trying to places animals back in loving homes within their community. There are several organizations in the area that feel the need to travel to other states and or even other countries to bring animals here to adopt. When there are plenty of loving animals that need homes here locally. They are ever changing and innovating. They are always looking at ways to better the community and our animal friends within the community.

The sweetest and funniest cat- she acts like she's glued to me. We originally went to get a cat for a companion for my grandmother (whom I live with).

I don't know what the first ten years of her life were like, but I am satisfied knowing the last five have been full of love.
