A.D.O.P.T. - Animals Deserving Of Proper Treatment
About Our Shelter
ADOPT (Animals Deserving of Proper Treatment) located in Naperville, IL (directions) is a no-kill, 501(c)3 non-profit, humane organization. Since opening on October 31, 1989, A.D.O.P.T. has found homes for over 20,000 pets. It takes a lot of hard work on the part of our generous volunteers to find homes for between fifteen and fifty kittens, cats, puppies, and dogs every week. We continue to spend our days working long hours because we love the animals and want to save them by finding a good home for as many of them as we can!
Finding homes for our voiceless animals is a priority for us. The shelter houses abandoned and neglected animals and rehabilitates them to become a companion for the family. Come Meet our Pets
We show on Saturdays and Sundays, except for Holidays, at the A.D.O.P.T. shelter at 420 Industrial Drive, Naperville, IL.

Saturday and Sunday 12 to 3:00 p.m. We also adopt from some off site events (like PetsMart Luv-A-Pet) where we have cats and kittens in the Luv-A-Pet centers all week at the Petsmart in Aurora (Route 59). We do adoptions there Wednesday nights 7:00 to 9:00 and Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 to 3:00. Our Adoption Process
Most Cats and Kittens start at $125
Dogs and Puppies start at $150 Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group. |
