Half-Way Home Animal Rescue

Half-Way Home Animal Rescue is a not-for-profit organization that is made up of all volunteers. Along with support and donations we strive for the rescue and humane care and treatment of the animals in our community, state and throughout our country. Together we are saving hundreds of animal lives annually.

Half-Way Home Animal Rescue is 501(c)(3) not-for-profit and no-kill organization based in Orland Park, Illinois. We are a foster run animal rescue group who finds selfless people who are willing to take in and offer a home to the animals who are in need - until a permanent family is found to adopt them.

Our Mission is to ensure that every animal is treated with the respect that they deserve; to educate on the importance of spaying/neutering pets; in order to solve the pet overpopulation problem; the humane treatment and care of all animals, and the rescue of animals that are being put to death in our communities every day, due to no fault of their own.

We are so very appreciative of any and all support that we receive. We thank you for visiting our site and if nothing, we hope that we have offered you a better insight on animals and the love that they all have to offer!
