My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Artemis!

Age: 8 years
Breed: Labrador mix

Woof! Hi there, I'm Artemis, the lovable Labrador mix with a heart of gold and a passion for playtime! At 8 years young, I'm still full of energy and ready to embark on adventures with my favorite humans.

One of my absolute favorite things to do is play fetch. Seriously, I'm like a pro athlete when it comes to retrieving that ball! Just toss it my way, and watch me go! I've also mastered the art of dropping the ball right into your hand, ready for another round of fun.

When I'm not busy chasing after balls, you'll find me out on walks, where I get to indulge in my greatest joy: sniffing! Yep, I'm a bit of a scent enthusiast. Every walk is a new opportunity to explore the world through my nose, and I take my sniffing duties very seriously.

Now, I'll admit, I can be a tad shy when I first meet new people. But give me a little time to warm up, and you'll see that I'm a loyal friend for life. Once I've decided you're part of my pack, I'll stick by your side through thick and thin, offering you all the love and companionship a dog could give.

So, if you're looking for a faithful walking companion who's as skilled at fetch as she is at snuggling, look no further than me, Artemis! I can't wait to meet you and become your new best friend!

More about this shelter

The Animal Care League was founded in 1973 as the Village Humane Society to help homeless animals in the Oak Park community. After a few years of operations, the Humane Society realized the need for help extended beyond the Oak Park borders and changed its name to the Animal Care League to better communicate our purpose.

At the beginning, the ACL did not have a physical shelter to house animals. Instead, supporters cared for animals in their homes until a permanent home could be found. This personal touch was very nice, however, it greatly limited the number of animals that could be helped and made the adoption process very slow. In the late 1970’s, the Animal Care League rented its first shelter, relocating to a new building a few years later. For many years the shelter worked out of this small facility, but in 1998 we moved again to our current location. We have the capacity to house up to thirty-three dogs, more than 120 cats and many other little critters such as birds, rabbits, mice, snakes and even chickens.

From the very beginning, the ACL has had a policy of keeping adoptable animals until we could find them a home and this is still in practice today. This means that no matter how long it takes, we keep an adoptable animal with us until we find that right loving home. Even though the number of animals coming through our doors for help each year has increased by 100 percent in the last several years alone, we firmly believe in this policy and will continue to give every animal the best opportunity possible to find a new home. We have accomplished this by taking proactive approaches to animal care and adoption as well as preventative measures to help reduce the number of homeless animals in our communities.

The Animal Care League works very hard to keep our animals healthy, reduce the number and severity of behavior problems and to act proactively in finding new homes for our pets.
