About Save-A-Pet:
Save-A-Pet is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and one of the largest no-kill cat and dog rescues and adoption center in Lake County, IL. We provide a safe haven for abused, neglected, injured, lost, or animals that have been saved from euthanasia. We never put a limit on the amount of care we provide for an animal and we never give up on them. Save-A-Pet offers rescued dogs and cats the greatest opportunity for a second chance. For more than 50 years we have taken great pride in practicing our no-kill mission which has led to the successful adoption of more than 67,000 dogs and cats.
