Animal Rescue Associates, Inc concentrates on rescuing the animals that are awaiting their horrific fate of euthanasia in high-kill facilities throughout Illinois and the surrounding states. As one gets adopted, we are able to rescue another. Therefore we are unable to hold adoptable pets. Adoptions are done on a first come, first served basis.
Once rescued, the pets are generally located in foster homes. In order to meet one of these wonderful pets, please fill out an adoption application on line. Please expect 24 hours for a response by phone or email. If we have not contacted you within that time frame, please contact us to ensure the application was sucessfully received. We are generally only able to process applications on business days, but meet & greets are done based on the potential adopter's and foster home's availability. We are volunteer based rescue (meaning we all have our own full time "regular" jobs), so please be patient in awaiting a response. Occasionally with some dogs/cats we thankfully receive an overwhelming response which takes us a greater amount of time. Please rest assured that our main goal is to place the new pet into their forever home as soon as possible in order for us to rescue another. We have a great amount of respect for you in your decision to rescue, and your patience is appreciated!
