Fresh Start Animal Rescue, Inc. - Belvidere Chapter

Animal rescue in Belvidere, IL

We are the only 501c3 no-kill Animal Shelter located in Boone County. Our goal is to help adoptable candidates from high kill shelters that have "run out of time" and space, and place them into loving furever homes without a time limit. We work with several County Animal Control facilities, mostly rural, to reduce the number of euthanasias of animals that have no chance, mostly based on location.
