Chicagoland Dog Rescue (CDR) brought a few people together who had been doing rescue work on their own. Our common goal is to rescue dogs that suffer at the hands of cruel or ignorant owners, owner give-aways, or those that are homeless. We are a small group of volunteers who work full time jobs and try to help as many dogs as we can, when we can.

Chicagoland Dog Rescue is a shelter-less rescue.  Most of our dogs are in foster homes, but we do board some dogs we take in at local shelters and vets. It is our dream to have a shelter where uninterrupted socialization will be the norm and we will be able to place as many dogs as possible in safe, loving homes.  In the meantime, we help as many dogs as we can, keeping them from being brought to various societies or kill shelters where 15,000 dogs are put to death daily in Illinois. With very limited resources, we vaccinate, socialize, and place dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes into homes as quickly as possible.

All of our dogs have the recommended and legally required preventative inoculations and are spayed or neutered to control the repetitive birth cycle that produces more unwanted dogs. The prospective owners are interviewed, properly matched with their dog, and a home check is scheduled for safety and suitability.

Weekly socialization and some basic obedience training is offered to all new owners free of charge for the lifetime of the dog, something no other group offers! We feel training is very crucial because a trained dog is a happy dog and contributes to a happy household. This insures the dog's likelihood of remaining in that loving home.
