Anti-Cruelty’s downtown adoption center is at 510 N. LaSalle Drive, at Grand and LaSalle. Check its current hours and adoption information before visiting. If a pet catches your eye online, confirm availability with the shelter.

Before visiting, think through your work schedule, your building’s pet rules, and who can help if you travel. Bring those details with you so you can ask specific questions about the kind of pet that might fit your household.
