Midwest Rescue Of Illinois, Inc.

About

Midwest Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. We are licensed by the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture and are board run. Our mission is to facilitate the rescue and adoption of homeless dogs, and to place adoptable dogs into solid, stable homes. Our goal is to reduce cruelty to these dogs by educating the public. We are committed to reducing the number of homeless, relinquished, abandoned and needlessly destroyed dogs. We do this through a small network of passionate volunteers. These remarkable people provide foster homes for our four-legged “clients”, make sure dogs receive obedience training, work our adoption days, and conduct careful home checks. All while working tirelessly to dispel the pervasive myths surrounding pit bulls! Believe it or not, many of us once accepted these destructive myths, too. But through personal experiences-such as unknowingly adopting a pit bull puppy-we came to understand how unfair and untrue they are. That’s what led many of us here.

Pets available

Adoption process

All applicants are fully screened. Requirements include: A home check - one of our representatives will visit your home. The representative will review information regarding your previous pets, obedience and crate training, and indoor/outdoor safety. An introduction between your current dog (if you have one) and your provisional adoptee. A vet check - we will call your current vet to confirm care provided to previous/current dogs. A reference check - we will follow up with phone calls to your personal references.
