Animals need love, attention, care, shelter, food, and water, just like any other person. It’s easy for a person to say they understand this, but every pet in one of these rescues tells a different story. Like all the other rescues on this list, Half-Way Home Animal Rescue guides each person through the adoption process. The difference between this rescue is that they don’t have a dedicated shelter. Illinois Valley Animal Rescue, or IVAR, has a thorough application process to ensure each animal goes to a good home.
