Red Door Animal Shelter Information

Since the Middle Ages, a red door has been the symbol of a safe haven. This is what Red Door Animal Shelter provides for the animals in its care. Red Door's mission is to promote respect for all animals through education, shelter, rehabilitation, and adoption. We provide a no-kill, cageless environment for animals in our care and provide permanent, loving residence for those few animals who don't find their forever homes. We are one of only five no-kill, multi-species shelters in the country that admits rabbits as well as cats and dogs, spays/neuters them and places them up for adoption. We also regularly help rescue domestic chickens and ducks. Every year, Red Door rescues and finds homes for hundreds of abused and abandoned animals. Red Door is a 501(c)(3) organization. We receive no federal, state, county or city money. We are funded by private donations and grants from private foundations. Red Door houses cats, rabbits, and our occasional chicken & duck friends on-site at the shelter. All dogs are kept in foster homes off-site. Red Door is considered the premiere rabbit rescue facility in the Chicago area.
