Our Adoption Process
so we can get to know you a little better.

8. Once you have picked out your new companion and
you are ready to adopt, an Adoption Contract will
need to be signed prior to taking your new pet
home. This is done at the time you visit with our
animals, and after you have chosen your new best
friend. It includes a mandatory vet visit with your
new pet within five days of adoption.
9. If at any time you are unable to keep the pet, or
unable to provide it with proper care, the animal must
be offered back to Angels On Wheels before making
other arrangements. We take our adoptions very
seriously, once an animal has been adopted, there will
be no refunds. Be sure when you adopt that you can
make a committment both finanically and personally
to these animals for their entire lives.

Our Vets and Happy Tails
Angels On Wheels Animal Rescue has partnered with Dr. Walley, 815-744-3540, Crest Hill Cat and Dog Clinic located at 2351 Copper Court (corner of Weber and Caton Farm Rd.) in Cresthill, IL.
Dr. Walley is offering your first pet exam free with any pet adopted through Angels On Wheels Animal Rescue.
If you currently have a pet that is not spayed or neutered, please contact us, we may be able to help. Our vet, Cresit Hill Cat and Dog Clinic, works with Spay Illinois.
Please be aware that it is common after you bring your new pet home, minor post adoption illnesses can occur such as: Upper respiratory infection (coughing, sneezing and runny nose), or diarrhea can devlope. This is very common with the stress of a new environment and the change in food.
Most puppies and kittens are born with worms. All puppies and kittens are dewormed upon arrival, and continue a regular deworm schedule while in our care. Most will need to be dewormed several times to be sure they are gone. After adoption, your new pet must be examined by a vet within five days to put on a vaccination and deworming schedule and a fecal test performed. This is the expense of the new family and is a normal part of pet maintenance.
So who looks happier? the Adoptive Family or the Adopted Dog? What a great family, mom and the eldest sister missed this visit, but are just as happy. Charlie is a five month old Collie/Golden Mix. What a great disposition this pup had, and what a great match. A nice laid back family matched with a nice laid back puppy. Thank you for adopting instead of buying.
This mom and daughter came looking to adopt one male kitten. They just couldn't decide between these two babies, and they didn't have the heart to seperate them so they adopted them both...who by the way were both females. Yea never know who you may will fall in love with. Broaden your adoption search, you may be pleasantly surprised.
This family knew they wanted to add a new addition to their family. Well dad came into Petco to buy a Goldfish, saw Polo (on the left) and loved him. Dad went home to get his wife, and she also fell in love with him. Now this beautiful puppy is living the good life with a fenced in yard, a little girl to play with and mom who is home all day to teach him right from wrong...I don't think they ever got the goldfish.
This was such a great match, and Grandma was so excited to finally get a grandchild. I wasn't sure who was more excited. Dad or Grandma. Grandma will be babysitting during the day, and since they all live in a two flat, how convient to put baby down for a nap and go back home to do dinner. Thank you for adopting and keeping me updated.
