Adopt-A-Pet is a "shelter without walls" - we do not own a shelter facility. Our animals fostered in volunteer foster homes or Wilmette Pet Center (also loving) until they are adopted by their new families. Animals remain with us for as long as it takes to find their permanent family. We vet the dogs and cats, provide ongoing medical care if necessary and provide training and supplies to foster homes if necessary. Foster homes are the life blood of our group - the more we have the more we can save. There are many other capacities in which to volunteer as well, such as: phone screener, adoption counselor, transport, fund-raising, photography, website help to name a few.
