It cares for animals that are lost, homeless, hurt, sick, or abandoned, offering safe housing, veterinary care, lost-pet reunification, adoption services, and community education on responsible pet ownership, while also responding to animal emergencies and enforcing pet laws in unincorporated DuPage County.
