Animal Care League
Our Mission
Animal Care League is dedicated to providing shelter, medical care, and comfort to animals in need while reducing overpopulation and fostering the essential human-animal bond.
A History of Compassion
Since 1973, we have served our community as a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Located in Oak Park, Illinois, we are proud to be a no-kill shelter that acts as a vital resource for eight local villages.
How We Care
We believe every animal deserves love and safety. We provide a comprehensive sanctuary for stray animals, owner surrenders, and transfers from other organizations, ensuring each pet receives the medical attention and comfort they deserve.
Your Perfect Partnership
Adoption is a joyful journey, and our goal is to empower every person to be an advocate for the animals in their community. We focus on thoughtful, personal connections, ensuring that every family finds a companion that fits their lifestyle, while our dedicated staff remains committed to our animals for their entire lives.
