Illinois Animal Shelters & Animal Control AgenciesBorder States: Indiana / Kentucky / Missouri / Iowa / Wisconsin This is a directory of Illinois pet shelters (dog pounds), animal rescues, animal adoption agencies and more. Below select the first letter of the city closest to you for an animal shelter, sanctuary or animal control agency. Also, don't forget to view our animal rescue page if you are looking for a certain type of animal from the many wonderful animal rescues we have listed. Are you looking for a companion for your pet? or how about a companion, gift or present for yourself? Visit your local animal shelter or rescue today! There are many animals looking for and needing a loving home today. More than 35,000 dogs and cats are killed in Chicago every year -- even more animals are neglected and abused. In many shelters across the country over 75% of the animals are euthanized because there are not enough homes for them. Please research the breed before you buy or adopt, you'll be glad you did! All domestic birds, cats, dogs, ferrets, horses, rabbits and more have a story to tell. Please give them the time that they deserve. They didn't ask to be left behind. They are looking for that forever loving home. Help the pet overpopulation, animal shelters and rescuers by spaying/neutering your pets!!
Each day 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. - and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. Each year, in this country alone, millions of healthy, adoptable cats and dogs are killed because there are not enough homes for them all. An estimated 15 million dogs and cats must be killed each year in this country because no one wants them. They are abandoned, abused, neglected, and unknown by many people. Many people don't realize they can find a good pet at their local shelter or animal rescue. These animals have originally come from a variety of sources such as (but not limited to): puppy (pet) mills, pet stores, backyard breeders and people who no longer have time for them or didn't realize what all was involved in taking care of that kind of pet. You will find puppies, kittens, adult cats, trained dogs, small animals, big animals, birds and more. They are available for adoption at your local shelter or animal rescue group, right now! In many cases there is absolutely nothing wrong with these animals. The previous owners just could not keep them for whatever reasons. Many people don't understand that having a pet is a life commitment for the life of that animal. Some people can no longer keep their pets, due to life changing issues in their own lives. Help save a life and adopt a pet today. Many animals don't have much time. Visit your local animal shelter or rescue today! Some of you are probably saying that the animal shelters/rescues are too strict about adopting their pets. These organizations CARE about their animals and want to make sure that all animals are going to a good forever home! There are reasons why they have rules and restrictions. They are not in it for the money. They are in it for the animals and future parents(owner's) best interest. This is a directory of Animal Shelters and Animal Control Agencies throughout Illinois. The listings are in alphabetical order by City or County. If you can not find the Shelter or Animal Control agency, try looking under Animal Rescues. If you still can not find what you are looking for, please suggest the shelter or animal control agency to us. Please note that not all of the US organizations or individuals are registered 501(3)(c) nonprofits. If they claim 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(3) pending & it's important to you or you have doubts about the organization, you can check on their status using Guide Star or IRS Non-Profit Search.

URGENT NOTICES:Urgent notices are notices that these animals do not have much time and will be euthanized if not adopted soon. Please help make more room in the shelter by adopting a loving pet today! This is only a small listing of animals needing help now, please contact your local shelter on how you can help. Not all shelters list their pets as URGENT! Also, help the pet overpopulation by spaying/neutering your pets so that their offspring don't end up getting abused, neglected or on Death Row. Catahoula Rescue - We are a national 501c3 rescue that place Catahoula Leopard Dogs with people like you who can help change their lives forever. We need you. These dogs come from high kill shelters and we do our best to save them all, but because of overpopulation and back yard breeders, we will never be able to keep up. We need donations, volunteers and Foster Homes! Monday’s Dogs is a weekly newsletter that showcases Catahoulas that need help. They are all considered URGENT; some of them will die THIS WEEK if nobody steps forward to help them.
