People and Animals in Community
Together (PACT) Humane Society is a no-kill, all volunteer, not-for-profit
animal shelter and educational organization. We were established in April of
2000 in Downers Grove, Illinois:
- Incorporated with the Illinois Secretary of
State as a non-profit corporation
- Tax exempt organization [501(c)(3)] with the
Internal Revenue Service
- Licensed with the Illinois Department of
Agriculture
- Approved as a PETsMART Charity
- Approved as a PETCO Charity
We rescue cats from many animal control
facilities in Illinois, including:
- Northwest suburbs: Schaumburg, Streamwood,
Barrington Hills, Hoffman Estates, Rolling Meadows, Palatine
- Niles Animal Control
- Aurora Animal Control & Fox Valley Animal
Welfare League
- Champaign County Animal Control
- Chicago Animal Care & Control
- DeKalb County
- Grundy County
- Rock Island County Animal Care & Control
Additionally...
- We have adopted over 3,300 cats and dogs
- We are no-kill, only euthanizing animals in advanced stages
of untreatable illness, where there is no quality of life or hope of
recovery.
- We have rescued thousands of animals from
animal control facilities where they would have been euthanized within a
matter of days
- We rescue older animals and
"less-than-perfect" ones, such as cats with FIV, diabetes, and cats missing
tails, eyes or legs
- We are fiscally responsible, with 88-90% of
our revenue going toward veterinary care
PACT has over 100 volunteers and a management
team of 17 people, including an attorney, engineers, Information Technology
professionals, banking professionals, college students, a researcher, and a
marketing executive. PACT is run by Cherie Travis and Renea Burman.
PACT volunteers serve in many different
capacities including daily animal care providers (cleaning and socialization),
adoption counselors, management team members, program coordinators, webmasters,
humane educators, and advisors.
PACT does not have its own facility space.
Instead we operate out of the
PETsMART Adoption Centers in the
Darien, Schaumburg/Woodfield and Schaumburg/Barrington Road, Illinois
stores. Because of our limited space, some animals live in foster
homes until space or adoption opportunities become available.
