About Adoption

Why Adopt? 

Due to the Governor's shelter in place mandate, we have PAUSED adoptions at this time. We will continue to update the website as new information is available.

Adopting an animal is a big step. It is bringing a new member into your family and at The Anti-Cruelty Society, we are committed to providing the perfect forever home for those animals in our care.

As Chicago’s premier animal welfare organization, our expansive adoption program features a wide variety of adoptable pets from cats, dogs to a host of small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, and more!

Adopting a new pet is an exciting and important decision! View all of our animals, learn about the adoption process, find our locations, and more.
