Mackinaw, IL

In a world where too many dogs and cats are displaced from their homes, or never have one of their own, we wanted to make a difference. We strongly believe fostering, rather than shelter life, is the key to that difference. We are fortunate to be able to say that every one of the pets in our care are individually evaluated and cared for by a well-established local veterinarian. The fur-babies are then settled into an experienced and loving foster home, ensuring they have the best possible chance at finding their forever home. We know we cannot save them all. Our goal is to provide a quality of life that emphasizes love, health, confidence and happiness to every pet who comes into our program, with the ultimate goal being a second chance at a forever home.
