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.

Save A Pet does all they can to improve the welfare of all the animals in their care! They never place limits on the care they provide to the animals in their care.
IMPORTANT: This form is only for public comments about the shelter. To contact Save A Pet (Grayslake), please go directly to their website (link on previous page), this form will not send your comment to them.
Please consider asking the administrator at SAVE A PET, GRAYSLAKE, IL, why we, a donating public, can not visit the stray cat, a sweet Havana Brown cat we named Ebony, we brought to them! Can you believe it?
I've had a terrible interaction with SAVE A PET, Grayslake, IL, administrator, Ms. Nedza -VERY UNPROFESSIONAL MANNER when she first approached me (February) and introduced herself as I was brushing Ebony. During those few weeks, it was our joy to bring the staff cookies, White Castle, coffee cakes and thought that they deserved treats for their hard work. And then, I'd go in and sit and brush little Ebony, who we nurtured through sickness and an FIV+ diagnosis. We brought to them in hopes he'd be adopted out and PAWS CHICAGO had a year wait list and previously, we've placed strays through PAWS CHICAGO with wonderful relationship and result. But PAWS' waiting list for their FIV room was at least a year.
We've been giving money the 2 months Ebony has been there and did not expect such mean-spiritedness. Ms. Nedza introduced herself by laying down the rules that I'd have to go through "training", and I agreed - NO problem. NOW, it is apparent that Ms. Nedza was putting up hurdles and barriers to keep us out of their "volunteer training"; (offered only in the evenings, way out in Grayslake and I can't get there during those hours - she knows this!) !!!! I did go in one morning for "training" and both I and the trainer realized that I should just simply "visit" with a supervisor - Ms. Nedza was not having that either. The next thing I know, is that they banned me from even stepping foot into the facility to visit Ebony...BANNED LIKE..POLICE WOULD BE CALLED!
WHAT ARE THEY HIDING? This behavior is not acceptable or in line with the situation. Please do help find out how my Ebony is and WHY THEY ARE ALLOWED TO BULLY donors in the community.
Much thanks for any and all help,
Donna Galloway-Chung
