New Shelter Addition Under Construction!
There is a lot happening around the shelter, so please use our website as much as possible for your needs, such as purchasing rabies tags. Always make an appointment to visit the shelter to help keep the area clear for our dogs and volunteers outside.
If you need to rehome your animal, please contact Chicagoland and Other Area Shelters (PDF).
