About Dogs Deserve Better - Illinois
Dogs Deserve Better is a chained dog and penned dog education, legislation and rescue 501c3 nonprofit organization. We are based in Pennsylvania, but have representatives located across the United States.
DDB is working to change laws and educate the public about the physical, psychological and community consequences of chaining or penning your dog. Dogs are social, pack animals that want to be part of the family.
Although our priority is chained/penned dogs, Illinois outreach includes many other desperate situations dogs find themselves in from no fault of their own. Our focus is on education, community outreach, rescue, rehabilitation, adoption and networking to save lives! We do not have a shelter facility, so we operate on the kindness of those in the community that help by providing a safe, loving foster home for the dogs in our program until their forever home is found.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
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.
