Chicagoland Dog Rescue
About Our Rescue Group
Chicagoland Dog Rescue (CDR) is an all volunteer, shelter-less rescue who’s common goal is to rescue dogs that suffer at the hands of cruel or ignorant owners, owner give-aways, or those that are homeless. With very limited resources we try to medicate, socialize, and place dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes into homes as quickly as possible.
Any Age, Any Size, Any Breed, Any Reason!!
Come Meet our Pets
Our adoption shows are held on Saturdays at either Petco in Schaumburg from 10:30-2:30, or Pet Supplies Plus in Arlington Heights on from 10:30-2:30. Check our website for time/place.

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
or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes.
Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they
think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from
a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage
people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA,
humane society or pet rescue group.
