Anderson Animal Shelter

5
Anderson Animal Shelter was incorporated in 1966 as the Humane Society of North Central Illinois. In 1971, our current shelter opened its doors on five acres of land located along Rte 31 in South Elgin, IL. In the 1980s the shelter received a generous donation from the Ruth and Ivar Anderson Animal Anticruelty Trust, which prompted a name change to the Anderson Animal Shelter.

Over the years, the shelter has transitioned from a traditional community animal shelter to one of the most progressive humane societies of its kind. In 2001, an on-site veterinary clinic was added to provide health care for shelter animals and to provide for the spaying/neutering of all adopted dogs and cats before they leave the shelter. The shelter operates under a no-kill philosophy and our goal is to eliminate the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals.

Anderson Animal Shelter collaborates with public and private organizations and individuals to shelter, care for and promote the adoption of stray and unwanted companion animals. We advocate for the compassionate and humane treatment of these animals through direct care, humane education and community outreach programs.
