About Me

Visit our website at: www.reddoorshelter.org
ATTENTION ALL MYSPACERS! I have gotten lots of requests to help and take in homeless animals, and while I am associated with the Red Door I am not authorized to admit any animals. PLEASE send an email to [email protected] for help. We will do everything in our power to help as many as animals as possible!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. In the Chinese art of feng shui, a red door brings luck to those who live behind it. This is what Red Door wants for the animals in its care.
Red Door Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter committed to helping animals in need. Its primary focus is on the rescue, shelter and adoption of cats, dogs and rabbits—the three most popular pets in the United States.
Red Door provides a cageless environment for its animals, giving them the closest-to-a-home experience that a shelter can provide. While our emphasis is on re-homing the animals through resourceful adoption programs, the shelter does offer permanent residence for those few animals not placed in homes.
Furthermore, Red Door is 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.
Every year, Red Door rescues and finds homes for hundreds of abused and abandoned animals. To read about some of them, go to Success Stories. 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 was founded in 1998, under the name Chicago Community Humane Center. In January 2000, an adoption center was opened on the far north side of Chicago, in the West Ridge/Rogers Park neighborhood. In June 2002, the shelter's name was officially changed to Red Door Animal Shelter to better reflect the vision of the organization. In February 2003, Red Door expanded its adoption center; the address of the new adoption center is 2410 W. Lunt, Chicago.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Animal lovers, people concerned with animal welfare and being, former adopters, caring volunteers, donors (with you we can not exist!), future adopters, and anyone whose life has been changed by the love of a family pet. :)

Music:

The Red Door animals are big Divas, so they prefer classical, jazz, and of course, rock and roll!

Television:

We don't get to view the HD flat screens like all of our human friends, but we love listening to the Cubs, White Sox, and Bears games on the radio.

Books:

We LOVE being read books. Gavin is the most scholarly at our shelter, and his favorite book is Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul.

Heroes:

Our staff, volunteers, board members, donators, adopters, and all of the amazing people that saved us from the cold, starvation, and uncertain futures. You saved our lives, and we love you!
