Mission: Save-A-Pet is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and one of the largest no-kill cat and dog rescues in Lake County, Illinois. We provide a safe haven for abused, neglected, injured, lost, or animals that have escaped euthanasia. We never put a limit on the amount of care we provide for an animal and we never give up on them. Save-A-Pet offers rescued dogs and cats the greatest opportunity for a second chance. We take great pride in practicing our no-kill mission and in stewarding our donors' contributions; both of which have led to the successful adoption of more than 66,000 dogs and cats. Save-A-Pet is a true no-kill rescue. We do not temperament test our dogs and cats, nor do we discriminate against age, health, or any breeds. We do whatever it takes to provide an animal with a second chance and to help that cat or dog find its forever home. Founded in 1972 by Gertrude Maxwell, we have been saving the lives of vulnerable animals for nearly 50 years. (Less)
