Northern Illinois Samoyed Assistance is a newly formed organization, however it's purpose and goals began many years ago with the relocation of the first Samoyed in 1984. The principle goal of N.I.S.A. is to save healthy, good natured Samoyeds from unnecessary euthanasia through shelters of un-caring humans. N.I.S.A. is a complete support group, whether you just acquired your first puppy, adopted from a local shelter, or acquired your Sammie through N.I.S.A. Counseling on behavior, grooming, general health, obedience classes, and more are available to any "Proud Samoyed owner". Unfortunately, puppies of all breeds are purchased on impulse and often end up in shelters or dumped on the street at the age of 1 or 2 years old. Samoyeds are no exception, especially at Christmas time. Frequently advertised as the "Christmas Puppy", and unfortunate for the breed, too many individuals leap in without thought of commitment to the purchase of a Samoyed puppy. All they can focus on, is the cute little ball of white fur with the gorgeous black markings. For several years we have been actively involved in relocating Sammies to new families as a result of our love for the breed. Heartworm treatments, spay and neuter plus all vaccination and grooming expenses have, to date, been a shared expense by the founders of N.I.S.A. As word spread, it was obvious the symptoms were far greater than the cure without an organization to support the cause. Thus, N.I.S.A. evolved. Many Sammie owners have joined our efforts but the need for foster homes and permanent families to adopt, continues to grow. If you have room in your heart and your home to share time and love with a Samoyed, call us today! In the event you are already owned by a Samoyed, or several, and can help in other ways, we have many projects to share.
You must be 21 years of age or older to qualify for a rescued Samoyed. If you still live at home with your parents, they must also sign the adoption agreement. Fenced yard preferred. If you rent an apartment or house, it must state in your lease that dogs of this size, are allowed. Condominium and home owners governed by an association must provide proof that dogs are permitted. You are requested to complete a Dog Obedience training course with the adopted Samoyed You are required to consent to a home inspection prior to an adoption and to follow-up evaluation. All applications submitted are subject to approval. If for any reason the adoption is not successful of circumstances change which prohibit keeping the Samoyed, N.I.S.A. is to be notified immediately. Transfer of ownership for any reason is in violation of the adoption contract. Northern Illinois Samoyed Adoption reserves the right to deny adoption.

Feral Feline Project started with two women in the summer of 2007. They understood that need for spay and neutering of all outdoor cats was not being met. Local governments were still trapping and killing or doing nothing to address the feral cat issue. Caretakers were at a loss as they were unable to afford spay and neuter and if they took them to a shelter, the cats were most likely euthanize
