If you live in Chicagoland, I must recommend this animal shelter to you! Animal House Shelter is located in Huntley, Illinois. It was started by a lady who had a love for dogs, and couldnt bear to see animals put to sleep. So she started a “no kill” shelter to save these animals.
The shelter is very clean and friendly and strict when it comes to adopting. When you visit the shelter, you will be able to look through a book of profiles of the animals they have available for adoption. (I like that you are not able to walk through the kennels, because it really disturbs and excites the animals). Then you are brought into a room with your potential new friend to visit. You can visit with them as long as you would like. Indecisive about what type of dog you are looking for? Just ask the people at the shelter and they will be happy to try to match you up based on your and the dogs personalities and needs.
After you decide who will be your new best friend, you will go through a quick interview to ensure the animal is going to a good home. (Another tactic I greatly respect!) And you pretty much have a new pet!
Animal House Shelter also is always looking for volunteers or donations, so if you can please help them out. They are a great shelter, looking out for the dogs best interest, and they appreciate any help they receive!
