Aditi is a very pretty Tonkinese girl who was born around 3/04. She adores people and adores being the center of attention. She can probably go into a household of maybe two cats max. Aditi is currently in foster care. You can contact us at 630-375-7976 if you are interested in meeting her. She is sterilized & current on her shots.
Aditi has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency). These animals can and do live long lives when kept indoors. The primary mode of transmission is through aggressive bite wounds. Casual, non-aggressive contact is not an efficient route of spreading FIV; as a result,cats in households with stable, social structures where housemates do not fight are at little risk, less than 1%, for acquiring FIV from one another.

Hello, my name is JASMINE and I am approx. 3 years old and am possibly a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, or a Labrador/Shepherd mix. I love to go for long walks or even a run. My foster mom says that I am good in the house. I sleep in my crate and won't make a peep until you wake up. I don't chew anything and if I were to pick something up that does not belong to me I will give it up when you tell me to leave it. My favorite thing in the world..........is to get a nice belly rub. They make me feel so nice.
I am extremely healthy, spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm-tested, micro-chipped and de-wormed. If you think you might like to make me a part of your family, please go to this website, www.acaringplacehs.org and click on the link 'Dog Application.'
The animals highlighted above, plus many others, are available for adoption each and every day. Many of the cats and kittens in our adoption system are available for viewing in the Adoption Center of the Orland Hills PETSMART during store hours (9277 W. 159th Street just east of LaGrange Rd.). Adoptions for cats and kittens are performed on Saturdays between 10:30 and 2:30 and by appointment.
A Caring Place is showing the dogs in our adoption system on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month at two locations. We show some of the dogs at the Orland Hills PETSMART (address above) and other dogs will be shown at the Countryside PETsMART(24 Countryside Plaza) off of LaGrange Road just north of Joliet Road. At both of these locations, we will show the dogs between the hours of 10:00 and 1:00. Check the descriptions of the dogs on Petfinder to know which dog will be at which location.
Between the regularly scheduled showing dates, we also show dogs by appointment once an application is received. Please note that we do not adopt dogs at the showings at Petco or Petsmart because we require a home visit as part of the application process.
A Caring Place Humane Society is always fundraising to subsidize our income due to extensive veterinary bills. Adoption fees do not cover the costs of many of our animals, so we are always in need of donations. Please help the animals in our care by making a generous monetary donation to A Caring Place Humane Society. You can mail your contribution to our PO box or drop it off at the Orland Hills Petsmart on Saturdays between 10:30 and 2:30.
We are an Illinois not-for-profit corporation and a recognized 501(c)(3) charity so monetary donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. You can make a secure online donation right here through our PayPal account. Please consider helping us out.
A Caring Place Humane Society of Darien, Illinois is a no-kill, non-facility, all-volunteer humane society operating in the Chicagoland area offering adoption opportunities for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies.
We are an Illinois not-for-profit corporation, recognized 501(c)(3) charity with the Internal Revenue Service, and licensed by the Illinois Department of Agriculture as a humane society. 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.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The compassion and love of animals, plus our belief in the positive effects of animal companionship, compelled us to create an organization that focuses on helping animals by working diligently with people. A Caring Place works to decrease animal suffering, lessen the number of homeless cats and dogs, and reduce animal euthanasia. With the goal of helping people live effectively in partnership with their companion animals, we work with current and potential companion animal guardians teaching proper and responsible animal care and providing advice for behavioral issues.
A Caring Place takes in animals from different sources including those relinquished by owners/guardians and good samaritans and makes them available for adoption. However, our primary source for animals are those at highest risk of being killed in animal control agencies, shelters both local and from other states, and veterinary offices due to lack of space or opportunity.
Because most of the animals we take in have had at least one home already, we choose to adopt only to those individuals who are willing to make a permanent, life-time commitment to an animal. A reasonable adoption fee is charged to help recover the costs of the medical care as well as the food and shelter provided to for the animal. If there is an animal you are interested in applying for, please contact us at 630-375-7976 or by sending an email. Please note that all household members must be present at the time of the adoption interview.
CATS & KITTENS The adoption fee for cats over six months of age is $110 and kittens younger than six months are $125* each. Please note that we do not adopt our cats or kittens out of state; we focus on adopting locally.
DOGS & PUPPIES The adoption fee for mixed breed dogs over six months of age is $200; puppies under six months of age are $250, and all purebred dogs and puppies are $225. These prices are subject to change.

Foster Care Providers for both cats/kittens and dogs/puppies are very much needed at this time. With spring just around the corner, this humane society will be inundated with kittens needing fostering, as well as pregnant cats. Experienced dog owners/guardians are needed to help with dogs who have been less fortunate - to provide love and care, to teach basic house manners, and some to provide basic obedience training.
Foster care is a very rewarding experience for people and is especially beneficial to the animals this humane society takes into their adoption system. If you are one of those special people willing to open your heart and home to an animal in need and would like to receive information on how you can foster an animal, please contact us.
