Greetings to our extended Adopt-A-Pet family.
It is with our deepest sadness to announce that Dave Cozzolino, owner of Wilmette Pet Center until its closing last year, and adoption partner with Adopt-A-Pet for many many years, passed away peacefully after a brave battle with ALS, surrounded by friends and family, all of our love and prayers, and lots of laughs and memories. We have lost a great friend, mentor, and animal lover who made all of our lives more rich.
We're better for having known him. 
And no doubt, thousands of pets were given second chances at life and loving homes because of his
outsized generosity, dedication, sacrifices and big heart.
He requested no funeral services; instead, a Celebration of Life party will be held.
We will post the details as soon as we know them. 

If you'd like to make a memorial donation to continue to help the shelter animals that were so near and dear to his heart, we'll make sure that his mother, sister, brothers, and partner in life Ken all receive a personal acknowledgement of your gift in his memory.  Checks can be mailed to:  Adopt-A-Pet, PO Box 408, Mt. Prospect, IL  60056.  For a digital donation, just click the Contribute Here button below.  Please include any stories or words of comfort that you care to have us pass along to them.  They can be emailed to us as well:  [email protected]

 Dave has left an enormous legacy and shoes that will be impossible to fill.
He will be missed, but the ripples he created in his life never fade, so he will not be forgotten.
Please go hug your loved ones, and, of course, your pets.
Love to all,
Randy B, President, Adopt-A-Pet, Inc.

OWNER HARDSHIP RELIEF:
As we still go through some challenging times, we do not want pets to lose their home right now for lack of food resources or essential veterinary care.  If you need a list of pet food banks, we can provide that to you, or we can make arrangements to provide food directly to you.  If your pet needs imperative veterinary care that you cannot afford due to income disruption, we may also be able to help. Please contact us at:  [email protected]

DONORS:  If you would like to make a donation to our Emergency Pet Food and Veterinary Care Relief Fund, please use our DONATE button on our Donate page and we will match up your donation with a pet in need.    Our mission is to keep people's pets safe with their families, and OUT of shelters!
