Giant Paw Prints Rescue
Westville, Indiana
Giant Paw Prints Rescue is an all-volunteer dog rescue founded in 2012. Its work centers on rescuing dogs, helping them recover and matching them with homes that can meet their needs. The rescue works with foster families and has a Dog House used in its care and socialization work. Current dog stories describe shelter transfers, medical recovery and individual behavior needs; an animal’s care or alteration may still be in progress. Community donations support food, veterinary treatment and other care. The organization publishes its contact locality as Westville.

Purrfect Cat Rescue
Crystal Lake, Illinois
Purrfect Cat Rescue shelters and rehomes cats and kittens in Crystal Lake, with a focus on McHenry County. The rescue describes its shelter as a cage-free, no-kill setting, inspired by an earlier rescue of cats from a hoarding situation. Cats can spend time in foster homes while finishing routine medical care, then return to the shelter when cleared for adoption. Its website distinguishes cats ready to meet visitors from kittens still in foster care; the online list does not include every available cat.

Before you visit
A thoughtful first step
A little preparation helps you find an organization—and an animal—that fits your home responsibly.
Look for transparency
Reputable organizations clearly explain health checks, behavior notes, fees, and return policies.
Ask practical questions
Discuss the animal’s routine, medical history, energy level, and comfort around children or other animals.
Plan beyond day one
Budget for food, veterinary care, training, enrichment, grooming, and unexpected needs.
