My name is Chica and I am a beautiful Tortie I was born 3/28/09. My mom Sadie and siblings, Toby, Midnight, Tails, Tiger, Rose and I were rescued by A Caring Place from a kill shelter that was going to euthanize all of us. We are all very grateful.
I am not your typical tortie...I am very sweet and lovable. I do love other cats and get along well with everyone. I am very lovable and very playful.....I am currently at PetSmart in Orland Hills for viewing. You can also contact A Caring Place at 630-375-7976 or e-mail l.dedic@att.net to set up an appointment to see me. You won't be sorry that you made the trip. You will have a hard time deciding between all of us who you would want to bring home.....we are all wonderful, loving kittens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This cutie-pie is named Morgan. She's a female Staffordshire Terrier mix, around 1 1/2 years old and weighing around 40 pounds. Her rescuer says that Morgan is 'the sweetest dog!' Morgan loves attention, loves to give kisses, and really enjoys playing with her toys. Morgan has lived with cats and dogs and she gets along well with them. Plus Morgan is GREAT with people! She makes no messes in the house and is good with kids.
Morgan loves people so much and wants to be with them. She will make a wonderful companion for most homes who want a dog who will love them unconditionally, and who will want to spend time with the family.
Morgan was rescued after running the streets for a month and no one could catch her. Finally, she was saved by her rescuer, Kim, when she entered the 'live trap' that was set out for her with food - and it saved her from a life on the streets. She is now one happy household/family pooch.
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.
* 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.
