Animal Shelters in Chicago, IL
Chicago has 38 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in Cook County. The largest group are rescue organizations. Darien and Mount Prospect, both within about five miles, have listings of their own. Between them there are dogs and cats of every age and size in Chicago, and the right one is rarely the one you set out looking for.
Chicago has 38 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.
A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
The Chicago listings all fall in Cook County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.
If nothing here suits, Darien, Mount Prospect and Cicero all have listings within about six miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
