About

Angels On Wheels Animal Rescue mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, provide medical care, love, and safe harbor for Dogs, Cats, Seniors, Hospice animals afflicted by neglect, abandonment, and abuse. We give them a second chance at a loving forever home. We provide all the medical they need to bring them back to health. We promote the adoption of animals as pets from pounds, shelters and animal rescue groups rather than supporting inhumane puppy and kitten mills, and backyard breeders which contribute to the problem of overpopulation of domestic animals. Our rescue efforts focus on intake of facilities that have little-to-no resources or assistance. We are always in need of foster homes to help us with our mission to care for these abandoned and neglected animals.

Adoption process

In order to set up a visitation with one of the adoptable animals, a completed application must be submitted. Our volunteers review adoption applications, perform home visits when required and do adoptions on their own time and expense. With that stated, we can only guarantee a volunteer can do a home visit within 60 driving miles of 60564. We still welcome ALL adoption applications in the event a volunteer is in your area or passing through your area for the final step of the adoption application, the home visit. Please do not let the guaranteed miles deter you as there is always a possibility there is a volunteer in your area. We will go the extra mile for our special needs, seniors, and adult dogs. Puppies and kittens who are not fixed yet due to age or illness will not be adopted further then 60 of one of our participating vets in Crest Hill, Countryside, or Naperville, who are all located in Illinois. If a puppy or kitten is too young to be fixed, we provide you with a spay/neuter coupon to one of our participating vets, a $100.00 fully refundable spay/neuter deposit is required, and you must live within 60 miles of one of those vets in order for your application to be approved. We get asked many times if we can hold a pet. We will not hold our animals for any reason. If your planning a going out of town, moving etc, it’s best to apply when you return or are prepared to bring home a new companion. Other potential adopters may be looking at the same dog you are, so time is of the essence, and it would be in your best interest to be sure the application is complete. Submitting an adoption application doesn’t mean we hold the dog. We could be reviewing several applications. We require all resident dogs and cats be spayed and neutered to adopt from our organization, we will verify that with your vet. Most of our correspondence is done through email while we are processing your adoption application, so be sure to check your email often. Based on the information you provide, if you are a good match for the cat or dog you are applying for, someone will be in contact with you within 7 days. With the number of applications we receive (especially on the very adoptable cats and dogs), we only contact those families that are a good match. We strive ourselves in finding the best matched family for our dogs and cats so be sure to read the bio in full to learn more about the personality, special needs and requirements. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing your adoption application.
