We advocate for DuPage County's homeless animals in many ways.

Besides funding lifesaving critical care & rehabilitation treatment, subsidizing adoption fees, and contributing to the new shelter project, the DuPage Animal Friends help fund innovative initiatives at the County shelter that is beyond the normal operating budget of Animal Control.

Your donation matters in the lives of shelter pets. Make a gift now.

The Bair Hugger System maintains the animal's body heat and keeps them safely contained during surgery.

Kuranda beds lift the dogs off the floor, provide firm support, and is easy to clean and sterilize in a kennel setting.

Educational Training Support

Know that when you donate to our general fund, you are continuing to help animals even when they have left the shelter. Educating our community and promoting responsible pet ownership is an important piece of meeting our vision. We develop programs and distribute materials to help pet owners learn how to foster a long, healthy relationship with their new pet.

Micro-Chipping Program

Many animals arrive at Animal Control each year as strays. Unfortunately, over 75% of dogs and 99% of cats that DCACC sees arrive without tags or identification that would allow the staff to locate and reunite them with their owners. All dogs and cats adopted from Animal Control are vaccinated and micro-chipped before going home.

DuPage Animal Friends aims to fund low/no cost micro-chipping in an effort to reunite more lost pets with their owners. We also assist Animal Control in promoting the benefits of micro-chipping to the public.
