About

At Hoof Woof & Meow Animal Rescue, our mission is to put an end to unnecessary deaths and inhumane treatment of animals. We achieve this by coordinating and providing qualified foster homes, transportation, healthcare, and medical attention to homeless and mistreated animals rescued from kill shelters and communities.

We are a dedicated team of 100% volunteers and fosters finding loving forever homes for the animals under our care. Additionally, we are committed to educating the general public about the pressing issues of animal mistreatment and overpopulation. We emphasize the importance of comprehensive spay and neutering programs as a solution to these challenges. Together, we can create a compassionate world for all animals.

We’re a 100% Foster and Volunteer-Based Rescue

HWMAR is made up of a coalition of volunteers and professionals—including rescuers, transporters, fosters, veterinarians, investigators and rescue partners—that advocate for and help save homeless animals throughout the State of Illinois and beyond. 

Every dollar raised through donations, events and fundraising efforts is a direct contribution to safely transport and properly care for all of our animals.

HWMAR is a 501C3 Animal Rescue.  We are 100% Foster Based and Volunteer run.  Check out our website for all our available animals, sign up to volunteer, or become a foster family.
