We will always send notification when you make a donation 'in honor of', 'in memory of', for birthday/memorial/wedding gifts no matter what the amount you donate.****

Animal House is non-profit, so we rely heavily on private donations for our animals. We greatly appreciate any donation no matter how big or small. Please see our Wish List page for specific items we are currently in need of.

We accept any of the following items listed below. We accept all types of animal items, but we try to keep our animals on the same types of food so they don't get sick from switching. We will accept other types as back up.

Thank you to Pat Wicherek & Michelle McKinsey, customers and personal friends of Mr. A's for their donations to the dogs & cats at Animal House this holiday season!

 Here are a few photos from the first phase (pet care supply drive) of John DiCristofano's Eagle Scout Service project. The scouts sorted and counted everything at our house on November 13, and the supplies were delivered on November 14. The drive was promoted through St. Raymond Church, St. Raymond School, and the St. Raymond Religious Education Program.

 

Thanks to the staff and the St. Raymond parish community for their generous support of our pet care supply drive for Animal House Shelter!

THANK YOU CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL!!

 Lauren Buccholz, has made AHS the recipient of a community project in her Honors English class at Crystal Lake Central High School. Lauren's group (a total of 7 students) has collected donations for the shelter--everything from supplies to cash donations. They used the "Wish List" as shown on the website and placed letters and bags on doorsteps in neighborhoods in Crystal Lake and Lakewood. They then returned and collected the donations. Last night, Lauren said there were approximately 52 bags. They will be bringing the donations to the shelter sometime this weekend. We think it is so wonderful when young people embrace a cause  and make such an effort to do what they can. We recognize their effort and great sense of giving back to their community! We are so proud of them! We hope this encourages more young people to reach out and do whatever they can!
