Lost Woods Animal Sanctuary

CRYSTAL LAKE, IL

Our Mission

Lost Woods Animal Sanctuary seeks to reduce the mistreatment of animals and abandonment of pets through the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of animals. We also prevent future rescue situations by providing educational outreach and by fostering positive relationships between people and animals

Adoption Policy

Adopters first fill out an application on our website, which asks about the adopter's household, how they plan on housing their new pet and what they plan on feeding. Because exotics have very species-specific housing and dietary needs, we have a director reach out to each adopter to discuss proper housing, diet and husbandry, as well as lifespan and handling. Adopters can choose to schedule a meet-and-greet with the animal or adopt without a meet. We need to receive a picture of the enclosure when it is ready, and when the enclosure and the adopter are ready, we schedule the adoption. Our adoption fees are set to be comparable to the animal's price at a pet store. Adopters sign a contract certifying that if they can no longer care for the animal, they must return them to Lost Woods.
