Chicago Pet Rescue is dedicated to saving lives by rescuing homeless animals.
Chicago Pet Rescue started with a vision by a local Edison Park resident in 2010. Elena started out as a foster home provider but decided to expand and help much more.
CPR is a 501c(3) non-profit, foster home and volunteer-based rescue, dedicated to rescuing homeless animals. We do not have a central "shelter" as most of our animals are placed in foster homes until forever homes can be found. Our goal is to rescue as many animals as we can safely manage through foster homes. We rescue dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, birds and other small animals.
There are literally hundreds of unwanted animals out there who are abandoned or lost each year who need a temporary place to stay. These animals need a special place where their confidence and self-esteem can be rekindled and they can feel loved again.
The results of placing an animal in a foster home versus leaving them in a cage for a long time is enormous as it is important that people can select a new companion in an environment where the true personality of the animal is visible! You can rest assured that any companion animal adopted from Chicago Pet Rescue has had the individualized love of a foster home or socialization of our many caring volunteers. When you adopt from us, your new pet will already have been used to a family environment or socialized with different people, allowing them to become a great family addition. This attention to detail is very important to anyone who wants to enjoy many years of bliss with their new pet!
Chicago Pet Rescue is an all volunteer run homeless animal rescue depending on donations from anyone wanting to help us help the animals. We are dedicated to matching our homeless pets with the right family. To be able to save animals we rely on our foster homes and volunteers. Our animals come with vaccinations up to current age, heartworm tested (if old enough), spayed or neutered (if old enough), and microchipped. We welcome you to look through our website and hope you will consider becoming involved in our cause, whether through donating, volunteering, or adopting! We hope to see you at one of our upcoming events!
Thank you for your time and support.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for the homeless, needy animals of the community by providing the following services:
- A safe, caring foster home until they can be adopted by loving, responsible families.
- A spay/neuter program: with the cooperation of several local veterinarians, all of the rescue’s adult dogs and cats are spayed or neutered prior to their adoption. For those pets that are too young, spay/neuter is required to be done no later than 6 months of age. We offer a low cost spay/neuter certificate that can be used at one of our participating vets.
- Medical care, including initial vaccinations, deworming and blood testing.
- Nominal adoption fees.
- Educational programs to make children, teens and adults aware of how to provide responsible pet care. This program also encourages high school students to volunteer by becoming involved in direct animal care.
Our goal is to rescue as many animals as our organization is safely able to manage.
