We are a 501(c)3, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and rehoming of mature dogs and cats age 5 years old and older. It all began with a group of people who loved animals. But in particular, the older animals. Dogs who had a little grey around the muzzle, but whose hearts were young and whose love knew no bounds. Cats who lounged around, pretending to be hard of hearing, until the whir of the can-opener proved otherwise. These animals had once been loved, cherished, and part o …

I think my running partner (dog) is puttering out on me, so I thought I would look for running partners in da 'hood.  I don't like to drive to run, unless I really want to run a different route.  It would be amazing to run right from home with a group. I am from Washington state, been in Chicago since July 2010. I miss my running partners/training groups and summer is a bit too hot for me to train for marathons, so I'm going to train for half marathons instead. Chicago Women's 1/2 Marathon on Ju …

Best Friends Pet Care started this FREE puppy playgroup to encourage socialization in a group setting. Bring your puppy to play with others every Saturday from 10am to 11am. Parents are required to supervise along with trained staff.

Our gatherings serve to network those individuals or organizations that help to save the lives of animals. Networking helps to strengthen and encourage working relationships among rescue groups, animal shelters, animal control organizations, veterinarians, potential volunteers (such as foster home care givers, fundraisers, website designers, transporters, photographers, etc.) If you have a specialty and would love to serve animals we would love to meet you!
