Animal Rescue Facility Build Out

Donation protected
My name is Linda Schifferdecker, and I am the Founder of Lovin' Life Rescue - a not-for-profit, foster-home based animal rescue in Chicago.  Joining me in the promotion of raising funds for our fantastic new building is my close friend and long-time volunteer, Suzanne Day, who is also our Training Supervisor and has fostered 30(!) dogs for LLR.   

Lovin' Life Rescue has been around for 10 years.  We have not had a facility, so we have relied on foster homes for our cats and foster homes & doggy daycares for our dogs.  I am ECSTATIC to say that we have FINALLY found an amazing building to rent!!  Having a facility will monumentally increase the number of lives that we save and exponentially grow our volunteer base.  We are one of the few organizations in Chicago that saves the lives of both dogs AND cats and have been doing so from the day we started.  We primarily take in those that are on "death row" in high-kill shelters.  We believe that ALL animals deserve a chance regardless of breed, age, size, or medical condition.  Because we believe that each life is precious and all are equally important, we spare no expense in medical care, behavior assistance, and daily well-being.  Despite their sad beginnings, our purpose is to ensure that each precious life will now be Lovin' Life with their Forever Families.

The new facility is in a rural suburb, which means we are getting SO much more for these funds than we would in the city.  Every canine guest will reside in their own "bedroom" suite, receive medical care, a nutritious diet, and behavior enrichment in our peaceful environment including daily exercise, social interaction, calming music, aromatherapy, comfy beds, and basic manners training.  Each will learn life skills in a home-like setting to prepare them for their Forever Family. There will be:

10 – 12 Suites (6' x 4')

2 Indoor Play / Enrichment Areas

2 Outdoor Play Areas

Grooming Spa

Kitchen

Veterinary Exam Room

Isolation Rehabilitation Room

Volunteer / Community Area

Storage Room

Office
