We are a foster-based adoption organization composed of a group of animal loving volunteers saving animals from death row and giving them a second chance at life.   No one gets paid for the work they do, just the gratification that some will be saved from a very cruel death and find loving homes.  These animals are confused, frightened, and don't understand why the people they trusted and loved have abandoned them. We work with many of the staff and volunteers in many states at these facilities as well as other rescuers, who work endless hours getting the animals to safe places. Transporting these animals is a huge part of rescue, and help is always needed with transportation.  We always need foster homes to help us save more.  We can only save as many as we have room for.  Email us if you are interested in learning more about fostering a rescued puppy or kitten. 

Our goal is to educate the public on; understanding that pet ownership is a privilege and commitment, the importance of spaying and neutering, puppy mill awareness, and  providing pet owners with helpful information during these tough economic times with CHOICES other then surrendering with low cost vaccine clinics and Spay Illinois. 

We are always in need of foster homes.  Many very young kittens and pupppies find themselves at a high kill animal control facilities and desperately need out. Sadly many do not make it.   Fosters home are in great need to save these babies.    

Puppy Season is always upon us, and adult dogs are always needing a rescue.  We need more foster homes to help care for the many puppies and dogs that need help.  The more foster homes we have, the more babies we can save.  Can you HELP?  Contact us!!

A very special thank you to one of our wonderful Angels, Jufi Haft at Central Bark Doggy Day Care in Oswego.  Central Bark Doggy Daycare  fosters many of our animals and helps us to find them wonderful homes.  Central Bark Doggy Day Care is not only a fun place for your dog to go, but they have a certified dog trainer, and groomer.  It's like sending your child to a playground with a psychologist, and a hairstylist...how cool is that! 

Dale (pictured below) is one of our Angels who helps to transport our babies to safety.   Dale is pictured below with his airplane and a few of the puppies he helped to rescue for Angels On Wheels Animal Rescue.  Dale donates his time, fuel and airplane to fly animals that are on death row from areas that are too far for our volunteers to drive.  He picks them up at the local airport, then transports them in his aircraft to Lewis University air field where we meet him.  THANK YOU DALE for picking up these puppies along with their mother and five other siblings.  You have earned another set of wings!

Below is a picture of our adoption days at the Petco Store in Bolingbrook  with a few high school girls earning community service hours.  The girls are pictured with our rescued kittens and our traffic stopper, Red Ruff.  A huge thank you to Petco and the wonderful employees who continuously help and support us.  Petco is definately where pets come first.

 We believe every animal deserves a second chance to live a life. We are committed to finding the right home for each baby, assuring they have wonderful families to love them as we have.  

 Max (Above) is truly a great rescue story.  Max was a very shy, very scared one year old black lab mix that was rescued just in the nick of time from a high kill shelter in Indiana.  Max came to Angels on Wheels to gain some confidence while awaiting his forevery family.  Max was looking for a family that understood he would need a lot of love and patience to gain his trust.  This wonderfully family adopted Max understanding some of the challenges they were  faced with.  These great kids and there folks have definately earned their wings.  Max has been blessed with not only a second chance to have a life, but a devoted, loving family to go with it.  Thank you so much for adopting...Max will always hold a very special place in our hearts.  Thank you for your continued efforts and updates.   

 

 This family lost their cat several years ago, and had been looking for TWO years to find the right addition to their family.  They bought the cat carrier, toys, blankets, bedding etc. everything they needed, all that was missing was that very special kitty.  We are honored they selected one of our rescued kitties to add to their family.  Thank you for adopting 9 month old Oxford, he has been waiting for you, as you him!
