Any current pets must be up to date on vaccinations and be spayed/neutered. Exceptions to this will only be considered if proof of a medical explanation is provided.
If you currently rent, you must provide contact information for your landlord or management company in order to confirm any restrictions.
Applicants must live within 50 miles of Chicago. Exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Applicants must allow an ALIVE representative into your home for a visit to ensure that your home is safe for the potential new animal. All members of the household are required to be present for the visit.

ADOPTION APPLICATION
To meet and potentially adopt any of our animals, click the link below to get the process started. All of our animals live in private foster homes, so an application must be submitted to arrange a meet and greet. Because we are primarily volunteer-run it may take several days for an Adoption Coordinator to contact you. Thank you for your patience.
