VCA Forest South Animal Hospital

Animal rescue in University Park, IL

Our adoption program was originally started because of the number of stray animals that we take in. Our main goal is to get these animals back into loving homes if they are unable to return to their owners. All of our staff show these animals love and attention just like they are their own. We do not currently have any foster volunteers/accept donations but if you would like to feel free to email us!
