Heartland is a no-kill animal shelter and a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization. We provide food, shelter, medical treatment and loving care until homeless animals can find permanent, loving homes. Please help us save the lives of these deserving animals by making a tax-deductible donation now.
If you have a more specific wish for your donation, please consider our Dr. Do More Fund, Arlo Fund, becoming a kennel sponsor, or donating in honor or memory of a special person or pet! To become a Heartland Hero and give a gift to the animals each month, join our membership program. If you are not in the position to donate financially, there are still other ways you can help our animals.
DONATING ITEMS DURING CONSTRUCTION We are so grateful for the thoughtful donation of items for our animals!With our shelter building under construction and while we are still operating at a temporary facility at the airport, our storage space is more limited than ever. We would appreciate it if you could wait to donate any of your gently used items (towels, blankets, toys, food, etc.) until January. In the meantime, we may still reach out for items that we need, and we will provide information on how to best get them to us. If you’d rather not wait, please consider donating to one of our Chicagoland Humane Coalition partners.Thanks again and we hope to see you soon
Adopt
When you adopt from a no-kill shelter, you save two lives. The animal you adopt and the one that replaces him.
Volunteers are the heart of Heartland Animal Shelter.
Volunteers are instrumental in the day-to-day operation of the shelter. From walking dogs, to playing with cats, to answering the phones...there is something for everybody. Please check out our volunteer opportunities!
