​Stay up-to-date on all of the latest rescue happenings!

Chicago Pet Rescue is always on-the-go! 
As a foster-based rescue organization, we're constantly in motion, working hard to find both foster homes and permanent homes for animals in need. There are a few different ways you can keep up with us:

​1) Sign-up to receive our monthly email newsletter.   We'll always keep your email address private and use it only for the purpose of keeping you in-the-know about our latest rescue efforts.  View our newsletter archive below.
2) Check out our event calendar below.  Speaking of events, we have dozens of events planned throughout the year.  From adoption events where you can meet our animals to parties and other special events, we put the "fun" in fundraiser!

3) View our "Happy Tails" gallery.  If you want to be inspired, take a look at just some of the animals who have found happy, forever homes through Chicago Pet Rescue.  The gallery is updated frequently, so please check back often,

4) Learn what you can do to help us rescue even more animals this year.

Thanks for your support!

Come out to meet us at one of our events!

Since we are a foster-based rescue organization without a central shelter, we're often out in the community introducing our rescued animals at various adoption events. We also host a variety of special events such as parties and other fundraisers. 

You can help at one of our events by:
  • handing out flyers 
  • inviting people to visit our website
  • answering questions about the rescue
  • recruiting volunteers and foster homes
  • accepting donations 
Please fill out our volunteer sign-up form or email us at [email protected].
Even if you can't volunteer, please stop by one of our upcoming events listed below.  We'd love to meet you!
