Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Oak,
Oak is a sweet and strikingly handsome dog with the kind of presence that turns heads—and the intelligence to match. He’s a driven, thoughtful dog who is looking for a home that understands and is excited about meeting his needs.
Oak thrives when he has a job to do. He would absolutely shine in activities that will are fun for both you and him. He is also the type of dog who loves learning new skills and challenges. He’s incredibly intelligent, highly motivated, and eager to work alongside his person. For someone who enjoys training and wants to build a true partnership, Oak is an amazing opportunity to watch a dog grow and flourish through consistent work and teamwork
Oak is looking for a committed, active home that’s ready to invest time, structure, and enrichment—and in return, he’ll give loyalty, connection, and the joy of seeing just how incredible a well-worked dog can become.
If you are excited to welcome in a new best friend, please fill out an adoption questionnaire at animalcareleague.org! Oak is so excited to meet you!

We do walk ins, unless the animal is in a foster home, which we would set up an appointment. Please fill out an application on our website, animalcareleague.org to get started.

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.
