Introducing the lovely ANNIE, a 2-3 year old, 38 pound Spaniel mix. She previously suffered from neglect and abuse and now deserves a loving, kind, and wonderful new home and family.
Annie has a gentle demeanor. She likes affection but doesn't bug you for it. 'She lays by our couches when we're all watching TV just hanging out.' She likes other dogs and is learning how to play with them. Annie is really likes people too - playing ball or tug-of-war. Annie will retrieve the ball, drop it for you to throw it again, and chase it down again. She even plays ball with herself by pushing it around with her paws and mouthing it as she rolls around...so cute! Annie seems to understand basic commands including sit, come, let's go in. Additionally, Annie does well on a leash and doesn't pull,; she can only wear a harness - no collar - due to her previous neck injury.
This dog has been spayed, inoculated against diseases, dewormed, tested for Heartworm Disease (negative) and placed on preventative, plus microchipped. Adoption Applications are available through our website at www.acaringplacehs.org
This gorgeous boy is Walter. Walter (aka Adonis) is a very pretty DSH white cat. His birthdate is estimated to be 4/07. He is a total lovebug. He loves to be petted and loves getting attention from everyone. You just have to look at him and he starts to purr and his paws start to knead like crazy. He is AMAZING....he has one of the best personalities that we have seen.
Walter is FIV positive. He is very happy and healthy. He can be adopted into a home with other cats as long as everyone is laid back. FIV is ONLY spread by deep biting. That is why most of the FIV positive cats are unaltered males. FIV cats can live a long and healthy life.
He is currently in foster care. Please call us at 630-375-7976 if you would like to see him. He is well worth the trip!! He is current on his shots, sterilized, negative for FELV/ positive for FIV, and microchipped.
The animals highlighted above, plus many others, are available for adoption each and every day. Adoptions for cats and kittens are performed by appointment.
A Caring Place is showing the dogs in our adoption system on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month at the Countryside PETsMART(24 Countryside Plaza) off of LaGrange Road just north of Joliet Road. We 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. Please mail your contribution to us at P.O. Box 989, Westmont, IL 60559.
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 is a no-kill, non-facility, all-volunteer humane society operating in the Greater 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.
* Prices 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.
