Rescue FAQs

MISSION Our mission is to be a voice and a home for dogs and cats who do not have one. To provide love, care, and shelter for those who have never had it or have lost it. We believe all animals are deserving. We will rescue, protect, vet, and provide hope as we search for loving forever homes for all animals that come into our care. PURPOSE Ruby Whiskers Animal Rescue, based in Lemont, IL, is dedicated to rescuing, vetting, and rehoming animals from shelters and other abandoned situations. Operated by dedicated volunteers and supported by foster families and sponsors, our goal is to provide the necessary veterinary care, grooming, and love while finding them forever homes.​​​ GOALS Successfully rescue and rehome dogs and cats from kill shelters and other abandoned situations. Spay/neuter all animals that come into our care. Grow a foster and volunteer network. Support and educate the community of the importance of spay and neuter. Keep pets with their families by providing assistance with pet food, training, vetting, or any other pet related issue, in order to keep them together and out of the shelter. Educate adults and children to build awareness, responsible pet ownership, and the importance of spay and neuter for all animals. Advocate for stronger laws regarding animal welfare, cruelty, and puppy mills/pet stores. Help decrease the homeless/abandoned animal population to in turn reduce euthanasia rates at shelters and animal control organizations. PHILOSOPHY Successful RWAR adoptions depend on strong relationships with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, and trainers. Through these relationships we will be able to rescue hundreds of animals every year and provide them with loving temporary care and carefully-matched forever homes. SUPPORT Best Friend’s Animal Society NO-KILL 2025 Goal Reaching no-kill by 2025 means that every shelter in our country is getting the community support it needs to save every dog and cat who can be saved. *When a shelter is saving at least 90% of dogs and cats entering that shelter, it is designated as no-kill.*
