To Our Valued Rescue Community,

We're making some changes to our social media presence and will be transitioning away from this page. We're immensely grateful for all the shares and community engagement this platform has fostered. As we move forward, we kindly request our current and prospective rescue partners to connect with Carrie at [email protected] to get acquainted with our updated process.

To our devoted and caring animal community, we urge you to stay connected with us by following our main page, where we will be posting more about our dogs. That page has a much larger presence and additional information on a variety of animals. https://www.facebook.com/dupagecas

Your ongoing support means the world to us.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
