My name is Meowtilda!

We invite you to come to the shelter and find a dog or a cat that will become your lifelong friend and companion. When you come to visit make sure to bring: * Current driver's license with your correct address or a state ID with a photo. * As many members of your family as possible to help make sure the new member is a good fit.

We serve the pets and people in Northern Illinois and Southeastern Wisconsin. Our mission is clear: To take responsibility for each and every orphaned, abandoned, abused or neglected dog and cat which reaches our doors; to take them in and shelter them; to provide the best medical and physical care possible for them; to nurture them back to health if need be; and finally to place them into warm, loving, adoptive homes where they can enjoy the lives they deserve.
