Animal Rescue Associates, Inc

Animal Rescue Associates, Inc concentrates on rescuing the animals that are awaiting their horrific fate of euthanasia in high-kill facilities throughout Illinois and the surrounding states. As one gets adopted, we are able to rescue another. Therefore we are unable to hold adoptable pets. Adoptions are done on a first come, first served basis. Once rescued, the pets are generally located in foster homes. In order to meet one of these wonderful pets, please fill out an adoption application on line. Please expect 24 hours for a response by phone or email. If we have not contacted you within that time frame, please contact us to ensure the application was sucessfully received. We are generally only able to process applications on business days, but meet & greets are done based on the potential adopter's and foster home's availability. We are volunteer based rescue (meaning we all have our own full time "regular" jobs), so please be patient in awaiting a response. Occasionally with some dogs/cats we thankfully receive an overwhelming response which takes us a greater amount of time. Please rest assured that our main goal is to place the new pet into their forever home as soon as possible in order for us to rescue another. We have a great amount of respect for you in your decision to rescue, and your patience is appreciated! If you would like to adopt me, please email animalrescueassociates@yahoo.com . It is advised that you also add the above email address as an email contact or the response to your application or email may go to your spam email folder. If you would like more information on me or on our adoption process, please email us at animalrescueassociates@yahoo.com for a pdf fillable application. Please the application to animalrescueassociates@yahoo.com. For a faster response to your application, fill out the Google form application. We do not have a shelter! Our rescued pets are generally located in foster homes located in Lake, Cook, Kane or Mchenry county (not always in the town listed). Adoptions are done on a first come, first served basis and will be processed in order of receipt. Please note, some dogs go quickly! dont wait! :)

Adoptions include, based on health and age requirements, spay/neuter at our participating vet, given medical care for known conditions, heart-worm checked (adult dogs), dewormer given, vaccinated, have monthly flea/tick prevention and/or heartworm prevention!

An adoption coordinator will contact you by email once your application is processed. We process applications during business hours M-F 9am-6pm and on Saturdays 9am-2pm. An adoption coordinator may contact you via cell phone outside of these hours. Please expect up to 24 hours for a response based on volunteer availability (but sometimes we can do it REALLY quick!)

The pet's pictures and description are no longer visable on our Adoptable Pet list once they are adopted, or see receive a generous amount of applications (in order to give us time to process, and contact adopters in order. So again, dont wait too long! We often do same day adoptions. Our adoption hours are below. Occasionally, a foster home may agree to an adoption outside of these hours: By appointment: M-F 9-6 SAT 9-2 SUN CLOSED )
