ALIVE Rescue is an animal rescue that protects the lives and the welfare of animals. We believe every animal has the right to a well-balanced, socialized and fulfilled life. We take on the responsibility to save, rehabilitate and place abandoned, abused and stray animals. We provide medical, behavioral and physical support for animals despite their age, health and/or breed.

Founded in March 2008, ALIVE Rescue is a no-kill 501(c)3 nonprofit specializing in the old, the unwanted, the sick, and the forgotten. We primarily take in animals from shelters with high euthanasia rates in Chicago and the surrounding area, including seniors, unpopular breeds, and pets with special needs. ALIVE Rescue promotes sustainable living and caregiving within our communities by building awareness, appreciation and respect for all animals and the environment.
