Adoption Requirements
Our adopters must be at least 21 years of age, live in within 1 hour of the Chicago Area (60631). We do NOT adopt to out-of-state applicants. Please contact your landlord or condo associations ahead of time to let them know of your interest in adopting and provide their contact information, so we may verify that you are allowed to have the pet you are applying for and willing to complete the interview and home check process.
Adoption Pending status does not mean the animal is adopted, just means we are not currently taking any new applications for the animal and we are in the process of reviewing current applications. If the current applicants don't work out then the adoption pending status will be removed and other applications will be taken into considerations.
Thank you for your understanding.
We respond quickly to applications so please check your Spam or Junk email folders to prevent missing our response.
The biographical information provided is correct to the best of our knowledge while the animal is in our care or includes what may have been provided by a previous owner. We strive to be honest and accurate, but animals can change their personalities and behavior when they settle into a new home.
