Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation

Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation All pets receive vet care and a safe place to stay while we try to reunite them with their family. We do our best to help every pet without hesitation.

Pet rescue is our primary goal and we are only able to do it with the help of our ever growing network of animal lovers. Our primary goal is to return found pets to their rightful owners, and rehome those who are left behind. Most pets who come to us require very costly veterinary care and expensive surgeries. Everything from spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchiping, surgeries, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, x-rays and more if needed. We also provide assistance to voiceless victims (pets) of animal abuse. We are 100% volunteer based with a 501c3 status, which means all your donations are tax deductible. Thank you in advance for supporting our rescue! If you would like to support us, you can send a check directly to the Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation at 5310 N. Harlem Ave., Suite 210, Chicago, IL 60656, or by using one of the options:

Once again, thank you all very much for your generosity! Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation supports “no kill” community coalitions that are committed to reducing the number of cats and dogs in that community who are at risk of becoming lost, abandoned or relinquished to shelters. Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation strongly believes in Proactive Redemptions. One of the most overlooked areas for reducing killing in animal control shelters are lost animal reclaims. Primarily shifting from passive to a more proactive approach—has proven to have a significant impact on lifesaving and allow shelters to return a large percentage of lost animals to their families.

This girl is not happy, but we told her that if she doesn’t leave her stitches alone, she will have to wear a cone 😝

WARNING ⚠️ Graphic Photos

Thank you for your prayers and positive energy!

Chipa’s surgery was successful. The growth in the muscle was a big one, but Dr. Chris thinks he got it all. Chipa also had a fractured tooth removed and received a complete dental 🦷

We need more prayers for Chipa’s recovery. She is on a lot of medications right now to help with pain and to prevent infections.

Her foster mom, Lisa, will be taking care of her and will make sure Chipa receives the rest she needs🙏🏼.

This surgery was tough on her little body, but it needed to be done.

Biopsy results are pending.

Prayers needed for good outcome and everyone involved, especially Chipa🙏🏼

Thank you 🙏🏼

Are you a Witness to Animal Abuse?

🛑 Even though our first reaction is to intervene, intervening is not recommended in case the perpetrator is armed.

🛑 First Step - Call 📞 911 immediately!

🛑 Take videos, gather as much evidence as you can and provide all that to authorities.

🔔 REMEMBER: Animal Abuse IS ALWAYS an emergency ‼️

💥 311 IS NOT the number to call! 💥

Concerned about living conditions of an animal or want to report ongoing abuse/neglect? Contact a Humane Investigator.

A humane investigator in Illinois investigates reports of animal abuse, neglect, and violations under the Humane Care for Animals Act (510 ILCS 70). They often work with local authorities.
