It is our goal that the foster home serves as a temporary placement until a proper forever home is found. We aim to provide education about pet care and an understanding that pets are a lifetime commitment. We promote population control by spaying and neutering our pets as well as requiring resident pets to be sterilized prior to adoption.
VISION
Our vision is to have a positive impact on animal welfare and reduce the number of unwanted pets.
R&R Sanctuary plans to operate a facility to offer life-long sanctuary to animals who are less adoptable or cannot be placed. We will continue to use fosters homes to save the lives of animals as we believe a home environment is best. We hope to expand our network and become well-known and respectable within the rescue community. We hope to have an impact on decreasing the euthanasia rate in the Chicagoland area in order to help Chicago become a No-Kill city.
It would be a pleasure to someday be able to care for farm animals as well as small pets since we respect all animals’ lives.
We are a rescue. We do not simply house animals but provide a nurturing home. We are No-Kill. No healthy, treatable, rehabilitatable animals will be euthanized. Any pet that has issues outside our capability or experience will be transferred to another rescue with whom we have reached an agreeable understanding for the pets care.
We care about all animals. We rescue locally, nationally and internationally – all lives matter. Also, most members within our board follow a humane, local or vegan diet.
We are very serious about life-long commitments. Once an animal crosses our doors, our commitment is to resume responsibility for the entirety of its life. We fulfill this by requiring the pet to come back to us if re-homing is necessary and providing the adopters with any addition support or advice throughout the lifetime of the pet.
Thanks to the generous donation made by Thunder Cares, Reach Rescue had a record year in dog adoptions and was able to rescue dogs that required extensive medical treatment as well as dogs in need of behavioral rehabilitation. These funds also allowed the organization to purchase much needed supplies for the dogs and allowed us to make necessary building repairs in the adoption center. Reach Rescue is so grateful for your support.
