Rescue FAQs

We are the only 501c3 no-kill Animal Shelter located in Boone County. Our goal is to help adoptable candidates from high kill shelters that have "run out of time" and space, and place them into loving furever homes without a time limit. We work with several County Animal Control facilities, mostly rural, to reduce the number of euthanasias of animals that have no chance, mostly based on location.
We hold events in the following towns: West Dundee, S. Elgin, Dekalb, Crystal Lake, McHenry, as well as at our shelter. We do not have a radius limit for adopters, but do not ship animals, they must be picked up in person.

Additional adoption info

We require an application which can be emailed in, we have a contract and various animal information forms to fill out which can take up to 30 minutes. Our adoption fee varies, most dogs and puppies are $250(on average, see pet profile), cats are $50, and kittens are $100 on average.
