My story

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

Meet Cupcake!

This darling older girl has a lot to love about her! She is sweet and snuggly, and adores being brushed. She knows her name, as we suspect she has had the name Cupcake for a long time. She will emerge from any hiding spot when you gently call her name. She had a wonderful time in foster, where she was also able to get some exercise in! She is a bit over 15 pounds and would love a family that would help her lose some of the weight that she has gained over her full and joyful 10 years of life before she came to us. A wand toy is her preferred way to get cardio in!

Cupcake is used to the single life, and would love a quiet home where she can be cherished as the only animal. Her simple pleasures in life include a big cushy bed to lay in, a nice brush for her fur, and a human to give her all the pets they can! To bring this big sweet older girl the home she's been waiting for, fill out an adoption questionnaire at animalcareleague.org!

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.
