About Us
Who We Are
- Midwest Rescue of Illinois, Inc. is a small-but-passionate pit bull rescue serving people and pets in the Chicago area.
- We're one of the Chicago area's oldest pit bull rescues.
- We're volunteer-powered and foster-based.
- We are licensed and in good standing with the Illinois Department of Agriculture.
- We hold 501c3 nonprofit status (EIN 14-1855007).
- We are fiercely no-kill!
What We Do
- We rescue good dogs from tough situations, give them the care they need and find them their perfect forever families.
- We rescue dogs from animal control facilities, kill shelters and owners who can't care for them.
- We help owners keep their pets by referring them to resources like pet food pantries, low-cost vet care and trainers.
- We educate the public on the myths and facts about pit bulls. (It's our awesome ambassador dogs who really change hearts and minds! )
- We aim to find the perfect match between people and pups, reflected in our thorough, multi-step adoption process.
Where to Find Us
- We serve the Chicagoland area. We don't have a physical shelter; most of our board members, foster homes and volunteers live in
- Cook, Lake, DuPage and McHenry counties.
- (Our P.O Box is in Hoffman Estates.)
- The dogs we rescue come from the Chicago area, and we adopt them to families who live locally, too. We hold adoption events and fundraisers throughout our area.
