| Our Mission: Save-A-Pet is a not-for-profit, no-kill shelter dedicated to finding loving, quality homes for each cat and dog in its care. Pets are sheltered indefinitely. Our shelter strives to create an environment which enhances both awareness of and support for the humane treatment of animals. |
| On February 14, 2009, the Companion Pet Rescue shelter was burned to the ground. Please help these dedicated rescuers rebuild from the ashes a place to once again save the lives of homeless pets in Southern Illinois. Many thanks to the Saline County Veterinary Clinic and Dr. Morris for going above and beyond to help this struggling group of passionate people continue to save lives as they work so hard to replace what has been lost. |
 |
| In 2006, we placed over 700 animals into loving homes from our temporary facility. Each one of these animals was given shelter, food, medical aid and vaccinations and time to find the right home. Our doctors mended mutilated limbs and cured many illnesses so that these animals could get a second chance at good lives. It is our goal to have our own facility devoted to helping our homeless friends so that we can give many more animals a chance to find the homes they deserve. And it is our mission to educate the public about the problems of pets over population and offer solutions for ending it. |
 |
| We are a small no-kill shelter. Our cats and dogs come from Animal Control or from owners who can no longer keep them. We are a volunteer-based shelter with no paid employees. |
| TAPS is committed to providing a safe environment for homeless pets until they can be placed into permanent, loving homes. We take in and rehabilitate, sick and injured pets that have nowhere else to go, and we provide education to pet owners to ensure happier, healthier live for companion animals. TAPS is committed to helping reduce pet overpopulation by spaying and neutering all animals adopted from us. By increasing public awareness of the benefits of altering and the problem of pet overpopulation, we will be able to decrease the number of stray animals on the street, and therefore, the number of homeless animals euthanized each year. |
 |
| A Caring Place Humane Society is a no-kill, non-facility, all-volunteer humane society offering adoption opportunities for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies of most health conditions and ages. We are an Illinois not-for-profit corporation, recognized 501(c)(3) charity. We are supported only by gifts from our caring friends since A Caring Place receives no governmental or corporate funding, and minimal adoption fees when our animals go to their new forever homes. |

| After spending years watching the shelter system deteriorate, watching countless of beautiful pets die, a vision of what could be began to take shape. During the past five years, New Leash On Life is responsible for spaying and neutering thousands of pets, rescuing and placing over 2,500 dogs, providing free educational seminars at local shelters, setting shelter rescue priorities on “hard to place” animals requiring medical or special care, founding the P.E.T.’s program (Pet Educational Trainers) and co-founding Partners for Life which saved hundreds at the East Valley Animal Shelter in Los Angeles County. Now New Leash on Life has expanded to Chicago with the same dreams and goals. |
| Pet Angels is a group of volunteers who love dogs and spend our spare time and personal dollars helping dogs in need. Some help by fostering, some by posting dogs in need and homeless dogs for other shelters, some by looking for "match" dogs for people looking for a specific description dog, and some help by picking up shelter dogs and transporting them to new homes. None get reimbursed for their services, but the happy wag of a tail is reward enough when a dog finally makes it from that scared little orphaned dog into a happy home of it's own. |

| We are affiliated with the National Saint Bernard Rescue Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to helping abandoned, abused, homeless, and relinquished Saints find a "forever home." ISBR is run solely by volunteers who have a great love for the breed and the dedication to help save them. Our volunteers put in countless hours and travel great distances to ensure that these wonderful Saints find loving forever homes and are not destroyed. We also have an Approved Humane Investigator on our staff to investigate complaints and allegations of improper animal care to ensure compliance with the Illinois Humane Care for Animals Act. Because we are a rescue group, we do not have "shelter" where the animals are housed. We provide temporary, loving foster homes for all of our dogs until they are placed in their new homes. |
| Our mission is to actively organize, promote, facilitate and finance animal rescue operations in West Central Illinois. Operations to include, but not limited to, fund raising, facilitating the adoption of stray and/or unwanted domestic animals, subsidized spay/neuter programs, assisting the poor with companion animal care, humane animal care advocacy, community education and with the eventual goal of developing a long-term care facility to house animals in transition and less-adoptable animals. We will adopt a general no-kill philosophy while maintaining the option for merciful euthanasia in circumstances where no alternative exists. This step will only be taken as a last resort when all alternatives have been exhausted. We will focus on the dogs and cats, but will attempt to assist with other companion animals as practical. |

| I became involved with rescue because I eventually wanted to breed. I felt the need to learn the downside of what is happening to our breed. This really hit home the importance of knowing who you are selling to and what they know before they buy a pup. It is a lifetime commitment. I truly feel that if you make more- you should give more. Rescue needs support in so many ways: fund raisers, help with paperwork, home visits, transportation, fostering, mentoring of new owners- it goes on and on.... If you can spare time or money, the mastiffs will benefit. Most of the dogs that find their way into rescue are not show quality dogs, but have hearts big as any. |

| Our common goal is to rescue dogs that suffer at the hands of cruel or ignorant owners, owner give-aways, or those that are homeless. We are a small group of volunteers who work full time jobs and try to help as many dogs as we can when we can. Chicagoland dog rescue is a shelter-less rescue. We board most of the dogs we take in at local shelters and vets. By helping as many dogs as we can, we keep them from being brought to various societies or kill shelters where 15,000 dogs are put to death daily in Illinois. With very limited resources, we try to medicate, socialize, and place dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes into homes as quickly as possible. |

Adopt-A-Pet is a "shelter without walls" We do not own a shelter facility. All of our animals are boarded at cooperating animal hospitals or in volunteer foster homes until they are adopted by their new families.

Adoptions take place at PETsMART in Glen Carbon, IL and Florissant, MO. |
