Rescue FAQs

Petropolis Adoptions is an all-volunteer, non-profit animal adoption organization based out of McHenry, IL, and dedicated to uniting homeless dogs and cats with loving, lifelong homes.

We are geared towards first time adopters and towards making adoption an easy and rewarding experience leading to a lifetime of pet guardianship. We pride ourselves on our friendly, open-minded approach and on our commitment to finding the right pet to match our adopters’ needs.

The majority of our animals come from animal controls and open admission shelters, where overcrowding and overpopulation lead to the euthanasia of millions of healthy, friendly pets every year.

In further service to our community, we also offer referrals to a variety of resources that promote responsible pet care and an emphasis on the need for spay/neuter.

Additional adoption info

Please note that, as a network of volunteers, e-mail is the fastest way to get a hold of us.

Visit our website to see a listing of currently available pets and adoption fees and to download an adoption application. Fill it out and e-mail it to petropolisinc@yahoo.com or fax it back to us. Within a few days we'll give you a call for a phone interview, during which you can tell us all about what you're looking for in a pet and we can give you more information about the pet in question. If everything checks out and it seems like we have a good match, we'll set up a time for you to meet. We encourage everyone in the household, including other dogs, to be present to ensure that it's the right fit. After that, you can take your new friend home!
