Animal Shelter (Tender Loving Care) 13016 West 151st Street, Homer Glen , IL 60491 708-301-1594
The site not only tells you what we do we have a video on there about the shelter. The Tender Loving Care Animal Shelter, more often referred to as T.L.C., has been in operation since April first, 1974. Although there were animal control programs set up by county and local government bodies, as a group of concerned animal lovers we felt that this was not enough. Just getting stray animals off the streets and disposing of them was not the answer to the overwhelming animal problem that is out there. Concerned about the welfare of these animals, T.L.C. was formed. T.L.C. has served the community as a private, non-profit, humane society, dedicated to the prevention of abuse, neglect, and cruelty to animals. The shelter provides refuge for an average of three to four thousand animals yearly. TLC not only helps the animals, we offer tours and information on animal
care to scout and school groups. One of our proudest accomplishments
is our VIP Program, a group of dedicated volunteers that bring animals
to visit senior residences and shut ins to brighten their day. We also
have a special fund called the "Bertha Fund" for animals in
need of more extensive medical care. PO Box 1293Palatine, Illinois 60078 847-529-2025 info@yahpetrescue.com
In April of 2005, Young At Heart Pet Rescue was formed to aid in the rescue and rehoming of older dogs and cats in the Chicagoland area. 100% of the animals we rescue come from municipal pounds with high euthanasia rates for older animals. Our mission is to find a new home for every adoptable animal that comes through our door, to educate the public on the benefits of adopting older pets, and to decrease the euthanasia rate for older, adoptable dogs and cats in Illinois . Each dog or cat that we rescue receives the best veterinary care, and we do not turn away animals that need a little extra medical attention. All of our pets are vaccinated, tested for infectious diseases, are microchipped, spay/neutered, and the majority receive a geriatric screening and a dental. We are a non-profit 501c3 organization with an all-volunteer staff, so all donations go directly to the care of our animals. It also means that we rely on the generosity of pet-lovers to support our mission and our rescued animals. Vermilion
County Animal Shelter www.vermilioncountyanimalshelter.com http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/IL38.html http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/IL419.html Lori's Pet Palace started in August 2006. It is a small rescue run out of one person's home. The focus is on getting animals out of kill facilities, especially high-kill gassing facilities. Our goal is to expand with the addition of more foster homes and a bigger facility. Although we are state-licensed, we hope to have our 501(c)3 non-profit by the end of the year. http://www.ahaworks.org Perry

largest No Kill humane organization. With its work focused on alleviating
Chicagos tragic pet overpopulation problem, PAWS Chicago envisions a
No Kill Chicago, a city in which no pets are destroyed because they are
homeless. Since PAWS Chicago's founding in 1997, the number of homeless
pets euthanized per year has dropped from 42,561 to 19,701 more than
a 50 percent decrease. For more information on PAWS Chicago's new Adoption & Humane
Center, Lurie Family Spay/Neuter Clinic or volunteer and community outreach
programs, visit The new Center is the first cageless, No Kill, state-of-the-art shelter in the Midwest. The opening of the Adoption Center put new standards in place on how each individual homeless pet is valued in Chicago. The new Adoption Center is a warm, welcoming place where animals live in suites and receive plenty of fresh air, exercise, toys, and most importantly, love and respect. In 2007, more than 1,600 animals found permanent, loving homes thru PAWS Chicago, and we are on-track to unite more than 3,000 homeless pets with forever homes in 2008. Marion Regional Humane Society Our organization formed out of the lack of facilities for cats and dogs
in this region. It is pretty rural and most of the local animal control
facilities in small rural towns are small to non-existent. When we formed
in July 2007, the only option for stray impounded dogs and cats was likely
euthanzation. There was very little for dogs and absolutely nothing for
cats. In only 6 months, we inspired changes in local law enforcement,
animal control and city ordinances. The cats now have a shelter and the
City we live in now has an option to something other than killing every
stray. So far, since we started the only euthanizations that have occurred
are mercy cases. Our Goal is to try and provide a “no kill” approach
to caring for stray, lost animals and give them a path to a new home
that will hopefully be a permanent one. We are attempting to organize
financing for a spay/neuter shelter to provide low income spay neutering
and vet care. It is surprising what a few dedicated people can do. As
of Jan. 22, 2008, in only l7 months we have adopted or rescued 331 animals. Our rescue started out as being two people deeply affected by the aftermath
of hurricane Katrina and the suffering of the animals. November 15th,
2005 a group of pets arrived in Alton Illinois, some from the hurricane
others from animal control facilities that use the gas chamber to euthenize.
Working with those animals and seeing the "hope" in their eyes
and the spirit of their souls drove us to continue our work today. We
are a RESCUE and we physically go pull animals Colona
Animal Shelter My organization is Fur Angels Animal Sanctuary based in Aurora, IL.
We're a rescue, and we also happen to specialize in deaf animals. We
rescue, train them and adopt them out as well. We don’t only focus
on deaf animals, we do have animals that can hear but due to our knowledge
of deafness, we also help deaf animals, which makes us pretty unique
in the rescue organization.
