About this shelter

Animal House Shelter, Inc. in Barrington, IL

Animal House Shelter, Inc. is a no-kill animal shelter located in Barrington, Illinois, in DuPage County, roughly 8 miles west of Naperville, IL, where 17 other animal shelters and rescues also operate. Founded in 2002, it is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to finding forever homes for all breeds of dogs and cats, rescuing pets facing abuse, neglect, abandonment, changes in their owners' circumstances, or scheduled euthanasia at other shelters. Once rehabilitated and healthy, animals are carefully matched with adoptive or foster families, and the organization relies on volunteers and community support to help save the lives of over 3,000 dogs and cats every year.
