Due to Covid-19 concerns, our adoption center remains closed. The few animals we do have are in private foster homes. If you are looking to adopt, please check for available animals under the Adopt tab. The site is updated whenever new animals are available.
As our community goes through hard times, help us to keep people's pets safe with their people and out of shelters! Please consider donating to our Covid-19 Emergency Pet Food and Veterinary Care Relief Fund. No donation is too small.

How can you support Adopt-A-Pet?
Adopt
Dogs & Cats of all shapes and sizes are ready to meet you!
COVID-19 UPDATE: As we go through this crazy time in our world right now, Adopt-A-Pet is not able to utilize our adoption center at Wilmette Pet and we are only able to accept new animals on a very limited basis under special circumstances into a few foster homes. This is out of an abundance of caution to keep our foster homes safe, as well as having limited access to veterinary care, as many clinics are only accepting 'essential' cases right now. If you are a pet owner in need of help, please still reach out and we will see what we can do to help you.
Wilmette Pet Centeris still open for your pet food and supply needs, and they are offering curbside pickup or delivery. PLEASE continue to patronize them during this difficult time. They need you now more than ever! (see more below)
OWNER HARDSHIP RELIEF: As we go through this difficult time, 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 via email: info@adoptapet-il.org
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!
THANK YOU! We thank everyone for their support during this difficult time. Please keep yourself and your family safe by staying at home if you can.
For those of you who are out there on the front lines providing for our societal needs, we would like to say an extra big THANK YOU! Whether you are medical personnel, support staff, law enforcement, grocery and pet store staff, delivery drivers, veterinary staff, or the dozens of other professionals who still must go to work every day to keep us and our pets safe, our gratitude goes out to you.
