Welcome to A.D.O.P.T.
Animals Deserving Of Proper Treatment
A.D.O.P.T. Pet Shelter is located in Naperville, IL. We are a private, "no-kill", non-profit organization that provides temporary shelter and care to dogs and cats in search of their forever home. Finding homes for our voiceless animals is a priority for us.
Looking for a cat or kitten to adopt? Now's the time. We've got lots at the shelter with more arriving soon. Thanks to the generous help of our fosters, we also recently took in even more and saved around 20 kittens as well as several nursing moms who were about to be euthanized when their time was up at animal control. Summer time is when the cat population really explodes. Animal control organizations around the area are so full that any animal that is picked up as a stray and not claimed is immediately euthanized at the end of their hold period regardless of their health or temperament unless another shelter, like ours, is willing to take in these wonderful animals. The more animals we find homes for, the more lives we can save. Help save a life. Adopt a cat or kitten today!
Please visit our
Adoptions page to view our dogs, puppies, cats and kittens available for adoption. We update this page often, so check back frequently!

Dog of the Week: Trixie
Trixie is a loving Jack Russell Terrier mix. She was surrendered to A.D.O.P.T. because her former owners brought a new dog into the household and Trixie did not get along with that new addition to the family. This sweet 8-year-old girl just doesn’t belong in a shelter. She is easy to please because she loves to go on walks. She is a constant companion. At A.D.O.P.T. Trixie has been in play groups with other dogs and does just fine. more...

We believe she doesn’t care for dogs that possess those puppyish qualities that can be so annoying when you are a little more mature. Trixie is housetrained and has been spayed. For more information about any of the dogs we have available for adoption please contact A.D.O.P.T. Pet Shelter at 630-355-2299.

Cat of the Week: Ayden
Don't you just love my adorable face? My name is Ayden, and I am a flame point Siamese boy. My birth date is September 2008, so I'm just about 2 years old now. I love to romp and play in my room with all of my roommates, but I can surely stir up the pot if you know what I mean! I would be great company for any other kitties you might have in your household, but I'm not cool with dogs. I love affection and can be quite laid back when it's quiet time. more...

When you visit with me, you will notice that I hop like a bunny rabbit. While I may have an old injury, the medical team at ADOPT can find absolutely nothing wrong with me physically. Hopping like a bunny rabbit makes me very special. Could I be that special kitty that you've been waiting for? I sure hope so!
