Why Adopt From Anderson Humane?

We believe that the human-animal connection has unlimited benefits for both people and animals. What better way to bring an animal into your life than adopting a pet in need of a home?

Anderson Humane has dozens of adorable adoptables and provides the information you need to find the best animal for you and your family. We also support you post-adoption with training, low-cost veterinary care, and other resources to help you establish a positive relationship with your new animal companion.

Adoption hours are Monday noon to 7:00 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday from noon to 6:00 p.m., Friday noon to 7:00 p.m., Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You can check out our adoptable animals during these hours.

Our Adoption Process Is As Easy As 1,2,3!

1. Visit Our Adoptables Pages

Peruse our Adoptables pages. Note the ID number and location of the companion you are interested in adopting.

2. Visit The Location of Your New Companion

No need for appointments, or scheduling a visit. We want you and your new friend to visit each other as soon as possible, so simply note the location and address of your interest and stop by anytime during business hours.


If you're interested in one of our All-star animals or an animal in foster care, please email or call (847) 697-2880 ext 0 to schedule a visit.

3. Take Home Your New Companion

We will provide as much information as possible about your new companion. Our sources include previous households, fosters, and our partner shelters. Behavior varies from environment to environment, and we cannot guarantee that behavior will be the same in your home.
