Porkchop was rescued in November 2023 from Jefferson County Animal Control -Illinois. This sweet boy was a favorite with both IAR and Jefferson County, due to his sweet and funny personality and squishy, kissable face. Porkchop is now Dewey, and he recently found his home in Wisconsin. Dewey is loving city life, cabin life and his big sister Zarah. We are so happy that he found a great family to love.

We mostly do transport these days, but we occasionally pull a sweet dog or cat. Meet Porkchop, a 1-2 year old pittie mix. We don’t know much about him except he was found roaming. He has adorable skin rolls so maybe there is some Shar-Pei in there as well. Pork is lab sized, but with a stronger frame. He loves other dogs, but would be better matched with a similarly-sized dog, as his play style may overwhelm smaller ones. He currently lives with dog friendly cats. He has a good amount of energy and would benefit from some some manners training (still has a bit of the puppy, bull-in-the-china-shop kind of energy). Please message us or apply online if you would like to learn more.

We received word today that one of our past adopters has suffered a devastating health issue and can no longer care for their beloved cats. We are looking for a new home for their 10-year old (black) female kitty and their 5 year old male kitty (gray and white). If you are interested--or know anyone that might interested in these sweet cats--please contact us. They are located in the Naperville, IL area and will be available on our website as soon as they get acclimated. We would prefer they be adopted together but are flexible.

Meet Auggie, a sweet boy with special dietary needs. https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/38991199
Charlie trying to get better
As mentioned earlier, Charlie is back at the specialist. This short video shows him in his oxygen "tent". He seems alert, but you can see his breathing is still labored. They have started him on some very aggressive treatments attacking this as an infection. Still waiting on other test results though. His medical costs are pushing close to $5,000.00..
ONCE AGAIN WE COME TO YOU, OUR SUPPORTERS We received the test results back for Charlie, our little kitten with the breathing problem. He doesn’t have lung worm or any fungal infections so now we move on to the procedure…….. The procedure being Lavage and Bronchoscopy. The vet will have to take a look at his little lungs with a camera to see if they can diagnose his condition. Biopsies may have to be done, along with pre procedure blood work and anesthesia. I saw the little guy this morning; picked him up from the vet where they had just given him a nebulizer treatment, to take him back to his foster mom. He was curled up at the back of his crate, focusing on breathing. When I spoke to him softly, his eyes would close. Never made a sound, just watched me. Probably wondering what the heck is going on. Bottom line is, we need to help this little guy get better. High end estimate for his procedure is $2700.00. Specialists usually require payment up front, but we are hoping they will be willing to set up a payment plan. This comes on top of our other emergency expenditures to help the parvo puppies. (We lost a second puppy) and our rescue of the puppy mill dogs who will need lots of vetting, dental, grooming, etc. and possibly prenatal and puppy care. It’s a constant struggle trying to find ways to finance the rescue and transport and we hate to keep asking, begging for help from our supporters, but without you, we couldn’t save the high number of animals we do every year, day after day. It’s never ending, but our dedication is never ending also. Your support is a blessing and so greatly appreciated by IAR’s volunteers and foster animals. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
As posted earlier, this Tuesday will be a very busy day for our transport and rescue. Not only will IAR be bringing in 8 new fosters from kill shelters and a puppy mill, but the transport will also most likely be full. We are always excited when we have the ability to bring new fosters into our rescue. This is based on two things; available fosters and the financial capability to vet and medically care for the animals we take in. Sometimes though, our hearts are bigger than our bank account and we dive in head first to save before thinking about the outcome. A week or two ago there wouldn’t have been a concern for bringing in this many fosters at once, (with the possibility of two of them being pregnant). We didn’t have a money tree but we were pretty stable financially. All of that changed within the blink of an eye. One of our young kittens, Charlie, came down with a mystery illness, making it very difficult for him to breathe. Our vet recommended taking him to a specialist; which we did. We all know the $$ signs get bigger when you say “specialist”. We are still waiting for the results of two tests to see if they can find the cause of his labored breathing. Right now they have a list of about 6 different things it could be. Not what you want to hear after paying for and hoping for a diagnosis. Also within the last week we have had two different litters of puppies contract the parvo virus. The word every dog person fears PARVO. We lost one pup to the illness and we have at least three more being treated with the possibility of four more coming down with the virus. Two were already adopted out to their new families, but we still feel a responsibility to cover the costs of their treatment since they obviously contracted the virus while in foster care. We also have Ziggy, a foster that has been battling illness, and is now down with pneumonia. The hardest part of all this is the fact that these little ones don’t know what’s going on, why they hu
On Monday, Labor Day, we posted that our Special Mama - Halle gave birth to 8 beautiful, healthy puppies. Since then Halle has been a devoted Mama. The other day we got a call, not the norm for any Rescuer - someone found an orphaned kitten, can we help. You bet! We came to the rescue to this helpless little girl and you can guess it, she went to the foster home where Halle is at. She needed to be bottle fed and our foster Mom is experienced at that. When she was delivered there we were considered how would Halle feel. Oh boy, the reaction we got was not what we anticipated!. The kitten is a Diluti Tortie, 2-3 weeks old & has her baby teeth, a little bit bigger than the 8 pups Mom has now but she wanted this baby to join her cast. So foster Mom put her in the whelping den, yes, she went into the den & the good Mama she is Halle is nursing her! It's hard to tell but look & hear, listen to the tiny MEOWS and then her belly is getting filled with Mama's precious milk. I am so proud of Halle. We knew we were saving a Special girl. Not only did Illinois Animal Rescue save Halle, her unborn puppies (8) but now an innocent kitten attributes it's life to our Rescuers! Great Teamwork!!!!
