Fur Angels Animal Sanctuary is an all volunteer foster based animal rescue network based in Illinois and Northwest Indiana. A core group of volunteers live in the Chicago Suburbs and surrounding Chicagoland area. As a small non-profit, Fur Angels works tirelessly to giving all animals a second chance at finding a forever home. Without having an actual shelter, we have many volunteers who have opened their homes to not just dogs and cats, but also exotic domestic animals. This rescue is unique because we foster many animals deemed “unadoptable” like bonded pairs, special needs, and seniors.
1. Research the animal. Many of our animals require special unique living situations. Research all you can on that specific breed, species and the personality trait of the foster. Consider if this animal will fit into your family. Is the living area set up? Where will he/she sleep, eat, and potty? Do you have food/ proper nutrition ready? 2. Application Submitted. Our foster guardian will check to see if your family is a good match for the animal, and if not will contact you will other suggestions. Our foster guardian will contact your vet/ landlord and check DNA lists. We verify if this animal is allowed in your county. 3. Home Visit Scheduled? A Fur Angels Rep will contact you within 72 hours of receiving your application; however please note we are an all volunteer network. After an interview, we will either set up a Meet & Greet, home visit, or suggest another animal that might be a better fit. 4. Adopt. If the Meet and Greet goes well, you will sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee that will help us help other animals in need.
