Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

Seen a medium sized male dog, long hair, golden/blonde color, black nose, half floppy ears.. Ran across Rt. 24 into Gilman IL Subway parking lot yesterday, approx 11:30am 1/24/16 .. ran around the lot for a while.. (tried to rescue with no success..phoned police and no one showed up for 20 minutes and no call back) anyways.. the dog had no collar, and no interest of human contact.. didn't even want to hop in the car.. I managed to get him in finger tips reach but he wouldn't come any closer and I had no way to grab him, and didn't want to chance getting bit.. Think we saved him run running out to I57.. but he ended up leaving the Subway parking lot and crossed back over Rt. 24 and went down E. 600 towards the farm equipment. His fur was dirty, but overall he looked pretty healthy. but he really looked lost to me and like he had no idea where he was. Would like someone to see if this dog is hanging around still, and if he could get rescued. I live about 50 miles from there..
