Our Mission

Our Function To uphold and enforce, as required by State Statute, the Illinois Animal Control Act, Humane Care for Animals Act, Animal Welfare Act, and local ordinances. Our Mission To protect the welfare, health and safety of pets and people and promote responsible pet ownership. Our Philosophy To be progressive in the animal welfare field by providing quality care to the animals; an aggressive spay and neuter program; and striving for placement of all adoptable pets where euthanasia is performed as a last resort. Our Value We value the integrity of each employee, volunteer and partner contributing to the professional care and humane treatment of animals in an atmosphere built on our trust and respect for one another. Our Vision We envision the day when every pet born will be assured a quality home during its natural lifetime and will not suffer due to abuse, neglect or ignorance.

Adoption Policy

We recommend that you research breed characteristics, visit our shelter, then select and spend time with the animals. Once you have determined that a pet is a good match for your family, you will need to complete the adoption application and pay the adoption fee. Once this done, you and your new family member can head home! Be willing to spend at least an hour and perhaps two from the time you arrive until you leave. After looking through our adoption wards, notify the front desk if there is a specific animal you are interested in. If you are interested in one of the adoptable dogs or puppies, a kennel attendant will get the dog out for you to meet. We encourage you to spend some time getting acquainted with the animal you are interested in so that you can get to know it before making your decision. After completing the adoption and registration information, you and your new best friend are on your way!
