Helping free up cage space for animals in need

Subsidized Adoption Funding

In an effort to help animals move more quickly into their new homes, DuPage Animal Friends offers several ongoing and limited-time subsidized adoption programs throughout the year. ​Adoption programs help find homes for harder-to-place pets, such as senior pets and bonded pairs, as well as when the shelter is full. Just look at all the ways your support gives animals a second chance at life!

Thank you for making it possible to find homes for homeless animals that otherwise would not receive a second chance. Your gift is truly life-saving.
Yes, I want to give an animal a second chance.
DuPage County Animal Care & Control is the only immediate open admission shelter in the western suburbs and cannot refuse any animal brought through its doors.

​This makes adoption critically important as it not only saves the life of the animal going home, but the life of another animal arriving at the shelter in need of its cage.



For harder to place animals, DuPage Animal Friends will subsidize the fees to encourage adopters to give these animals a closer look. Thank you for your continued life-saving support!
Your gift to hard-to-place pets is needed and appreciated.
