You must be 21 years old to adopt and all family members and resident dogs (some exceptions are made) must meet the prospective new member of your family prior to adoption! The questions addressed in the below application are designed to enable us to make the best match possible for you and your new pet. Please see our Adoption Process Page as well as our Bringing Your New Dog (or cat) Home page on our website prior to meeting or adopting any pet. Animal Rescue of Illinois concentrates on rescuing the animals that are awaiting their horrific fate of euthanasia in high-kill facilities throughout Illinois and the surrounding states. Therefore we generally to not have any backround on these wonderful pets nor can we guarantee their lineage Adoptions include, based on health and age requirements, spay/neuter at our participating vet, heart-worm checked (adult dogs), given 1 month minimum of heartworm prevention, dewormer given (prepare to follow up deworm them), vaccinated (prepare to follow up booster the pet’s vaccines), rabies vaccine if age appropriate (prepare to register your new pet with your own county for a rabies tag), microchip (prepare to register your new pet’s microchip), have been given a minimum of 1 month flea/tick prevention. Also note, we are unable to guarantee any living animal. So please be prepared to take on the responsibility of the health of your new pet once you take them home. Your new pet must be seen by a veterinarian with 48hours of adoption, with proof of signed veterinary form. Most breeds and ages are approximate. The adoption cost of your new pet may vary and it assists us in the rescue of another. This cost vastly outweighs, for the services received, retail veterinary costs for you. Adoptions are done on a first come, first served basis and will be processed in order of receipt. An adoption coordinator will contact you once your application is processed. Our rescued pets are generally located in foster homes. In order to meet one of these wonderful pets, or for more information on a pet, please fill out an adoption application on line. Animal Rescue Associates DOES NOT have a shelter, and most animals are awaiting their forever homes in loving foster care; in order for us to get a jump start on training, learn their unique personalities and to ensure they are a perfect match for you!
