Animal Welfare League

I give it a 5 star because I have been taking my dog there forever. I got upset about them not being upfront with their prices and the changes that they did without telling the customer before hand. They automatically charge you for clinic visit without giving the option. They didn't tell you either line didn't matter because they charged everyone for a clinic visit which wasn't right. I'm going to make a complaint about that. I want my $35 back because I was told 1 line was for clinic and the other line only for shots, you didn't find out until you went to pay for your services. 😒😤

My family adopted a bonded pair of pit bulls from Animal Welfare League's Chicago Ridge location last week. They are the sweetest girls and after them being in the shelter for over a year, we are so happy to be able give them a place to call home. Walter at the front desk, Karen one of the dog handlers, and the rest of the staff were very kind and helpful! We submitted our application online and heard back from Walter about a week later asking for any specific dogs we were interested in. We were able to come in the night of to meet them. AWL has so many looking for homes, especially of the pit bull breed. We did not have any issues with this place as we saw from some of the reviews but be patient yet persistent with them. They want the best for you and the animals. Please don't overlook AWL if you are looking to adopt (Chicago Ridge is their only adoption location currently but they have other locations where they hold even more in the shelter). They told us their #1 need currently is dog food so we brought in a few bags and recommend, even if you are not looking to adopt, to donate! But all of the dogs at AWL deserve to be a part of a family and to find place that they can truly call home. I cannot press adopting here enough! You will make a difference in the life of a dog that truly needs it and deserves it!

I LOVE AWL! I have five rescues...3 dogs & 2 cats, one was adopted directly from there and all were spayed & neutered by them. I get their yearly shots at a great price and just this weekend we got my pittie girl's allergy medicine within an hour(which is a record) because they are so busy. The donation of blankets and other items are greatly appreciated especially since winter is coming. The wait can be long but these people work hard for our fur babies and a thank you is just never enough. ❤
