Adopt

When you adopt from a no-kill shelter, you save two lives. The animal you adopt and the one that replaces him.

Help us continue our life-saving mission.

If you’re not ready to adopt or volunteer, consider making a financial contribution to help the shelter continue its life-saving mission.

Heartland Animal Shelter is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, no-kill animal shelter in Wheeling, Illinois dedicated to finding permanent, loving homes for the dogs and cats in our care. While our animals await their adopters, our incredible team of volunteers provides the much-needed emotional care while our dedicated staff members make sure each animal is vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. Since 2002, Heartland has saved well over 14,000 lives and we will continue to be advocates for homeless pets until no more adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized.
