Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals

Mission: Chicago Pet Rescue is an all volunteer run organization, supported entirely by donations and fundraisers. Our volunteers foster, transport, and in many other ways assist in this rescue effort. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for the homeless, needy animals of the community by providing the following services:
•A safe, caring foster home until they can be adopted by loving, responsible families.
•Spay/Neuter program: with the cooperation of many local veterinarians, all of the shelter’s adult dogs and cats are spayed or neutered prior to their adoption. For those pets that are too young, a ‘spay/neuter’ card is given to the adopting family to have the procedure done at 6 months of age.
•Medical care, including initial vaccinations, deworming and blood testing.
•Nominal adoption fees.
•Lost and found program to help reunite dogs and cats with their owners by maintenance of a pet listing.
•Educational programs to make children, teens and adults aware of responsible pet care. This program also encourages high school volunteers involved in direct animal care. Our goal is to rescue as many animals as our organization is safely able to manage.
