Animal House Shelter is expanding its facility in order to save the lives of over 5,000 dogs and cats each year! Since 2002, AHS has rescued, rehabilitated, and found homes for over 65,000 dogs and cats.

We need your help to make this project a reality.

 

Starting in Barrington, IL, we moved to Huntley, IL in 2006 and quickly outgrew our current facility. Currently, we are driving to six different veterinary clinics to keep up with our medical needs. With this expansion, we are looking to build a state-of-the art vet clinic on the shelter property to take care of all of the animals coming to our organization from high-kill facilities throughout the year. In addition, this clinic will provide low-cost vaccinations, microchips, and spay and neutering to all communities in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago.

Expansion highlights:

  • Additional kennel space for animals to allow us to increase the number of animals we can save
  • A child education center to host schools, groups, and more for tours and educational programs
  • 10 bonding rooms for multiple families to meet with potential pets to adopt
  • State of the art veterinary clinic to allow us to treat animals on site and lower costs to provide them with the best care 
  • Sanctuary rooms for long term dogs to make them feel more at home
  • Additional indoor and outdoor exercise yards for the dogs
  • Added volunteer center to accommodate the many volunteers that we have
