Lovin' Life Rescue

Animal rescue in Chicago, IL

Lovin' Life Rescue is a Chicago-based, young, 501(c)(3) non-profit, GREEN, companion animal rescue organization with a no-kill policy. United and inspired by our compassion for all animals, we focus our talents and previous rescue experience on saving innocent dogs and cats that are homeless, neglected or abused. In addition to supporting and participating in spaying & neutering, our contribution to helping make Chicago a No-Kill city is to educate the community with the simple mantra that Pets are Family… they are not disposable. We actively advocate local concerns, focusing in particular on dog-fighting issues and education, as well.

Additional adoption info

Lovin' Life Rescue is dedicated to finding Forever Families for our precious dogs & cats. Our adoption process is set up to make sure that our sweetie is the right match for you. If you are interested in adopting, please follow our required procedures:

You must be at least 24 years old.

Fill out an application. (This helps us learn more about you to determine if your lifestyle is the best fit for the potential “adoptee”.)

Participate in an interview with an LLR Adoption Counselor.

Schedule a Home Visit with an Adoption Coordinator. (This is to ensure the home is safe for the animal.)

Sign an Adoption Contract and make a tax deductible Adoption Fee Donation. This amount varies and starts at $350 for dogs & puppies, $125 for cats & kittens, and $100 for kittens being adopted as a pair. Additionally, kittens must either be adopted as a pair or must go to a home with another cat.

All of our sweeties are microchipped, spayed / neutered, fully vaccinated, heartworm tested, FIV & Feline Leukemia tested, and treated for parasites (worms, fleas, mites, etc.).

NOTE: We are a small, volunteer organization and receive many applications. You will be contacted only if we feel you are a potential match. Thank you for understanding.
