How adopting works here
Use the filters above, then tap a pet for its full profile and the shelter's own listing.
County Animal Control often adopts same day. The Humane Foundation and most rescues ask for an application first, which can take a few days.
Plan for ID, the adoption fee, and a leash or carrier. Fees usually cover shots, a microchip and spay or neuter.
Every group here needs fosters, volunteers and donations. Lost a pet? Call County Animal Control at (815) 937-2949 first.
Listings come from each shelter's own postings on Adopt-a-Pet and Petfinder and are refreshed every night by The Bourbs. Animals get adopted fast, so confirm with the shelter before you visit. Run a rescue in Kankakee County that isn't listed? Tell us.
