CENTRAL ILLINOIS ANIMAL WELFARE COALITION

In 2006, animal welfare leaders joined forces to collectively address the needs of homeless companion animals in Champaign and Douglas Counties. Through cooperation and the pooling of resources, animal welfare agencies are working together to:

• Increase the availability of spay/neuter services,

• Increase the number of animals that are adopted into new homes, and

• Through education, decrease the number of animals that require services.
  

Directory of Services for Homeless and Disadvataged Companion Animals Download Directory (PDF) The directory provides a comprehensive listing of agencies that accept and rehome a wide variety of pets, including cats, dogs, small mammals, birds, and some farm species. The directory also identifies agencies that provide animal cruelty investigations, humane education programs, volunteer opportunities, assistance to low-income pet owners, and more. The CIAWC created this resource for the public and for veterinary clinics and social service agencies whose clients may find themselves in need of companion animal-related advice or assistance.
