Dedicated to Animal Welfare in Naperville Since 1989
More Than a Shelter: Vet Care & Training for Every Pet
A.D.O.P.T. Pet Shelter was founded by passionate volunteers determined to provide care and find loving homes for homeless animals. Over the years, our mission has remained steadfast—to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs, cats, and small animals. We also offer comprehensive veterinary services and professional training programs to ensure every pet has the best chance at a healthy, happy life.
Through community support and dedicated programs, we continue to make a lasting impact on animal welfare in Dupage and surrounding counties.
