Found the perfect addition to our family! A big beautiful orange cat we now named Otis! The staff were great! Helpful and patient with us. Answered everything they could and explained each step of the adoption process. Truly was a smooth experience. I highly recommend it! And all the texts and emails after to make sure things are going well with the transition. To feel free to reach out if we need any advice. I felt their care and concern for the whole process.

Once again this shelter helped tremendously and did a wonderful job!

I adopted my cat from here last year and today I adopted a dog!

The process was streamlined, easy and very fun! I got to meet my new dog, to make sure she was the right fit, and got to take her home. Not only that, but the shelter staff was kind enough to give me a “care package” for her including written information on how to take care of her.

Special thank you to Britany, Jeff, and Eileen for helping out so much! I haven’t had a dog since I was 7, and being on my own at 20 with my cat, I was ready to add a dog to the mix.

Thanks!!

Honestly I have never thought about “adopting” an animal in my life. That was until I was walking through a Petco one day and saw that beautiful “blue eyed beauty” kitten. My heart melted, and I fell in love! I had always gone to a pet store or to a breeder and “purchased” a pet. I inquired and the process of adopting through Anderson Humane was actually quite simple. Not only did we adopt her, but there was a gray kitten with her, so we adopted him too. And since I am an animal lover I couldn’t leave the last kitten there by herself so the last one found a home as well!!! We have worked closely with Anderson Humane and I can say that they DO care about the animals in their care. They try to place them in good homes with their screening process and take PHENOMENAL care of the animals that are in their care while they are there. They also take care of wildlife as well. Take a look at their site, go visit their shelter, or consider adopting/contributing to their shelter. I strongly believe in them and their cause…I went back and adopted three more kittens and they have been such a loving joy in my life! Take a look at these happy faces and know you can make a difference. Everyone at the facility was helpful and friendly and act in the best interest of the animals.

We love all the pets and the staff works really hard and are so kind to the animals. We ended up adopting 2 kittens. I must say 'were in love!!!'

A very clean, well kept, and professional place to go to adopt your new furry friend
The staff was very kind and willing to tell us about all the kitties they house there, and everyone was very helpful for meeting the kitties as well. They also offer a wide array of information on their wild life work as well
Adoption process was very quick easy, and they offer great resources. Whether it be for donations, adoption, or volunteering, Anderson Humane is a very good choice to look into

I went here two weeks ago looking for a puppy and immediately fell in love with a sweet boy there, we were able to put him on hold the next day and overall the process was super fast and easy! Everyone there was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend going here if you’re looking for your best friend 🙂

We adapted a cat from this place.
We all loved it.
When we took him to the vet for wellness check up, they said he’s mouth had a bad infection, we need to spend between two and $3000.
I wish they would’ve told me before I adopted and have my family emotionally involved with it.

* I’m updating my review.
They pulled the cat’s teeth and gave him the antibiotics. And we re-adapted him. I appreciate it, they followed up.

My family is very happy now.

I had an amazing experience adopting from Anderson Humane. I found a kitten, Whiskey, now named Monroe on Petfinder. I sent an inquiry online and received a quick response back outlying the adoption process and indicating that she was very shy and needed a slow approach. I was pleased to learn that there was no application process and that they wanted me to come in person for a meet and greet. I drove from Chicago to South Elgin the same day. I received a warm and friendly welcome from Madeline. She answered all of my questions, was very knowledgeable about the kitten’s background and offered helpful suggestions on cat litter, food and how to help her adjust to her new home and pet siblings. Madeline felt that this would be a great fit and I completed the adoption process. She throughly explained the policies and offered post adoption support. This adoption process went so smoothly that we returned a week later and my mother adopted Littin, now named Engo Orion. (Both pictured)

I highly recommend Anderson Humane and would adopt from them again. Thank you so much for all you do for the welfare of animals.
