There's not much more to say than Chris and Sue are true rock stars! And let's not forget all the volunteers and charitable people. I've rescued 2 dogs from them, and I could not be happier! They are very accommodating. If you are looking for a special needs pet, or have your own special needs, I'd put money on the fact that they can help you with whatever you need!

Do not bring your cat here. This place will lie. If you think about bringing your cat here just don't. If you have second thoughts DO NOT TAKE YOUR KITTY HERE. They will not give the cat back. Lost a damn good cat to this. I will make it known

Illinois Valley Animal Rescue AKA IVARTried to post my cat Tarzan on Facebook for adoption after the owner Susan told me ON THE PHONE that she wouldn’t give him up for adoption and would keep him until I got my own place and once I called them out for it on their page, they deleted it. GUILTY!

IVAR is amazing!! Very kind staff, quick to assist and happy little furr babies all around! Great place to adopt! Or even just to look for a possibility of adoption! I especially love Sue in the cat department, such a sweet and kind woman. ♡

Went down to adopt a dog and found the cutest little 3 month old girl Rottweiler puppy named Ova. Had my cautions with her potential size but after doing my research found Rottweilers are actually really loyal and gentle family members. They are great and sometimes clumsy in a goofy way. But hey so are my kids. After 1 or 2 days she found her place and we are happy to welcome her in to her forever family. Thanks Kris

The lady who I tried giving kittens to since i couldn't take care of them accused me of dumping cats all the time, and breeding mom cats to dump. Why would I be calling a SHELTER if I was DUMPING CATS? All she wanted mama was for the money she would get. Then she called my landlord to even try to get the mama cat. Absolutely disgraceful and disrespectful. I would give zero stars but it didn't give that option. I've asked others if they've had the same experience and they said they experienced the same thing from this lady. Do not recommend to anyone!

You know as I read the reviews, some great some not so good. I understand this place why they maybe straight up and not sugar coat things and to some this might come off as rude,cold,callus but understand they want you to be a good pet parent. So many animals out there that end up in the streets, some ppl just don't care they don't fix their animal's they get in heat and out they go. Only to end up in places like this, that's if they make it to a place. Others get killed by drivers or other predators. It's not right not to mention these places need to take care of these animals that come in feeding,medical,sheltering for them it's costly. I get it I understand100% adopting an animal is a responsibility not just cause it's cute then they grow and out they go. That's what these places don't want to happen to these furry babies.

My family got a cat from here named Max, and I love him so much. I volunteered here and it was a great time! All of the staff is always super friendly.
