Recycling Animals In Need (R.A.I.N.)

Recycling Animals In Need (R.A.I.N.) is a State Licensed, Not-For-Profit, Tax Deductible 501(c)3 humane organization, staffed entirely by volunteers, working to find new homes for unwanted and/or homeless dogs and cats.

Founded in 2000, R.A.I.N. has placed over 3,000 dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in new, loving homes.

Our animals come primarily from area shelters and are placed in foster care upon arrival in our group. There the animals are brought up to date on all medical needs (spay/neuter, testing for infectious diseases, shots, worming, etc.).

While in our care the animals are also evaluated to determine what would be the best type of home for them. We are not looking for the most placements - we are looking for the BEST placements!

In addition, R.A.I.N. strives to promote responsible pet ownership through education. We help people learn to work through behavioral and training issues or assist them in finding professional resources if necessary.

So take a look around our site! Hopefully we will answer most of your questions about us and introduce you to some of our pets.

Approximately 2 hour drive from our foster homes in the western Chicago suburbs.
