Chicago Pet Rescue - Adoption Application

Please fill in the form below and click "submit." If you would prefer to download this application, click here. Downloaded applications can be emailed to followup@chicagopetrescue.org or printed, mailed or brought to one of our adoption events.

Application REQUIREMENTS:

Primary applicant must be 21 years of age or older and all current pets must be fixed/up to date on shots.

If you rent, own a condo or have other pets - please notify your landlord/condo association/vet that we will be calling them, before submitting this application then include their name and number below.

NOTE: The majority of adoptions do NOT occur same day. For all animals, we schedule an initial meet/greet within a half hour of Chicago zip code 60631. For dog applicants we require a home visit after your initial meet/greet so you must live less than 1 hour. There is no guarantee that an adoption will happen the same day or at all. If you live further then 1 hour we recommend you understand and are ok with coming out and possibly not adopting or having to come back a second time.

For most KITTENS under 4 months we require they be adopted in pairs or separately (if another cat or kitten already lives in the home).
