About Us

We’re a coalition of volunteers and professionals including, rescuers, transporters, fosters, veterinarians, humane societies, investigators and shelters that advocate for and save homeless animals throughout the State of Illinois and across the country.

Hoof Woof & Meow Animal Rescue is a registered non profit 501(c)(3) no-kill animal rescue organization.  Established in September 2012, we are on a mission to eliminate needless deaths and inhumane treatment of all animals.  We are committed to finding forever homes for the animals in our care and educating the general public on the issues of mistreatment and overpopulation as well as the need for comprehensive spay and neutering programs.

Our Mission Statement

Our mission is to eliminate needless deaths and inhumane treatment of all animals by coordinating and providing qualified foster homes, transportation, well being care and medical attention for homeless and mistreated animals rescued from kill shelters and directly from communities.

FAQ

HWMAR is a foster based rescue, so all of our animals reside in a home where they are being taken care of and provided with lots of love.

Once your application is approved, the foster or a member of the adoption team will be in contact with you to schedule a meet and greet.

All available animals are listed through our website.

We allow out of state adoptions within a 150 mile radius of the rescue. We do not ship animals.
