Rescue FAQs

Our adoption program was originally started because of the number of stray animals that we take in. Our main goal is to get these animals back into loving homes if they are unable to return to their owners. All of our staff show these animals love and attention just like they are their own. We do not currently have any foster volunteers/accept donations but if you would like to feel free to email us!
We currently take in stray cats and dogs from the counties and town surrounding University Park, IL- Will County, Park Forest, Monee, Crete, Matteson. If these pets are not reunited with their owners, we then add them to our adoption program.
