Rescue Fund
Save-A-Pet recently launched a new rescue fund to help pay for more intakes and the many expenses associated with saving lives. A generous donor has agreed to donate $10,000 if Save-A-Pet can raise $10,000 by the end of the summer. If you'd like to contribute to the Rescue Fund and this very generous challenge grant, please click HERE.

Special Needs Care Fund
As a no-kill rescue, Save-A-Pet does not discriminate against an animal's age, infirmity, or emotional issues. Some of our residents require expanded care and rehabilitation which often costs more money to provide. A gift to support our special care animals will allow these magical dogs and cats the maximum chance for recovery and adoption. To contribute to the Special Needs Fund, please click HERE.

Gold Paw Society
Save-A-Pet promises to provide a safe, loving home for life at the adoption center itself-for those dogs and cats that are not fortunate enough to find their forever home. As these residents age, they often require expanded care such as additional supplements and physical therapy to ensure a high quality of life. Accordingly, a gift to the Gold Paw Society will ensure that our senior dogs and cats are as healthy and comfortable as possible!

Planned Giving
Leaving a "living legacy" is a special gift that ensures that the lives of future generations of dogs and cats can be saved. If you are interested in planned giving options such as bequests, please contact Development Manager Marc Portugal at 847.740.7788 X 102 or via e-mail at marcp@saveapetil.org.

Honors and Memorials
In memory or in acknowledgement of a special family member or pet, your gift can honor them by saving another life and expanding someone else's family with the same spirit of love you share with that special family member or pet. Choose from our Tree of Life, Cat Tiles, online honors & memorials, and more. For more information on Honors and Memorials, please contact Shelter Administrator Nikki Nedza at 847.740.7788 X 103 or via e-mail at shelter.administrator@saveapetil.org.
