Red Door Red Door Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter that rescues dogs, cats and rabbits 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 po

pular 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. 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.

Happy Furever Home Friday!
Back in March, the orange duo of Samsonite (now Greg/Gregor the Relentless) and Puffy (now Duke). These boys wasted no time settling into their furever home!
According to their human, they are confident and energetic. They both love catnip toys, wands, the laser, and treats. Greg tries to steal pita bread, and Duke likes chewing on crocs. He now has a pair of children’s crocs as this was the best compromise after he started chewing cords (one of those options is less spicy)!
We love seeing these guys so happy and loved! 🧡🧡
