The ASAP Fund was established by the Donor Fund Trustees to provide emergency or extraordinary medical services for animals sheltered at the HSCI. Our MissionWright-Way Rescue is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Its mission is to reduce the number of homeless pets euthanized in the Midwest each year through an adoption program, community education, promotion of spaying and neutering, and a veterinary medicine program. It continues to save pets from rural animal control facilities where they are at a high risk of euthanasia, and instead offer them a second chance at a loving home in the Chicagoland area. How to AdoptThere are two ways to adopt from Wright-Way Rescue.1. Visit our Adoption CenterOne of the ways you can adopt a pet from our shelter is by visiting our North Shore Humane Center (Northern IL) or Admissions and Medical Services Campus (Southern IL) during open hours.2. Reserve A Pet In AdvanceWright-Way Rescue is unique to many shelters because of it’s ability to hold pets for pre-approved adopters who make arrangements to meet them.

Approved applicants who are seriously interested in a particular animal may place them on reserve to meet once they become ready for adoption.There is NO FEE to place a reservation. We do however ask that the potential adopter is serious about meeting this particular pet. If we hold a pet and the person does not show up, that pet may have missed its chance to find a family during the time it was on reserve.If you are interested in adopting two pets, there is a $50 fee to reserve a second animal. This fee applies toward the second adoption fee of either the dog or cat. If the adopter does not adopt (or only adopts one pet) this fee is maintained by our shelter as a donation.On our website, each animal will have an availability date listed under its description. If they do not, you may call us for an estimated arrival day to our Morton Grove facility. This is the date this pet will most likely be ready for a new home. Prior to this time the pets are housed at the Wright-Way Rescue Admissions and Medical Services Campus where they begin to receive necessary medical care prior to adoption.

Please remember that we take only one reservation per pet. Please only set up an appointment if you know you can attend your time, are seriously interested in the pet you are asking us to hold, and please ensure you are ready to add a pet to your home. Make your reservation by calling our Adoption Hotline Monday-Friday from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.(847) 728-5434 Option 2 Shop our Online Store100% of all proceeds from shopping at Wright-Way Rescuego back to saving the lives of homeless animalsProm Dress Rental Kelowna Fromm Gold Weight Management Dry Dog FoodArctic Cat 400 Dies Fromm Adult Gold Dog FoodUsed Hotel Furniture Jalan Ipoh Fromm Gold Large Breed Adult Dry Dog Food Fromm Gold Large Breed Puppy Dry Dog Food Meet our Adoptable PetsWright-Way Rescue North Shore Humane Center is located at 5915 Lincoln Avenue, Morton Grove, IL Monday-Wednesday: ClosedThursday: 2:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.Friday: 12:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.Saturday: 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.Sunday: 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.Adoption Hotline HoursMonday-Friday: 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

An animal rescue group has sued the University of Illinois over the school's decision not to provide records about dogs and cats used in research.The lawsuit, filed Monday in Cook County Circuit Court by the California-based Beagle Freedom Project, claims U. of I. violated state public records law when it refused last year to provide documents about specific animals, including veterinary reports, daily care logs and health records.

The group's supporters filed dozens of Freedom of Information Act requests as part of a national campaign to get information on animals used in labs that could be adopted after the experiments. The lawsuit claims the university has purposely misclassified veterinarian records as research records to avoid releasing them, and it cited a speech given at a conference by a university veterinarian who said, "You gotta fight like hell" not to release records.The group, which has been a thorn in the side of public research universities, advocates for the adoption of the animals — including beagles, a common breed used in research — after experimentation to avoid euthanasia. It filed similar requests at other public universities and said most of them disclosed the requested information. "The reason for UI's withholding of individual animal records seems quite clear," according to the lawsuit. "UI has been performing some very offensive publicly funded experiments on dogs and cats — experiments that it knows would enrage certain segments of the public — so it does not want the records of the individually affected animals released."

In response to one FOIA request, U. of I. provided 47 pages of redacted records about research protocol, and it withheld all records on individual animals, according to the lawsuit. In its denial, the university cited multiple exemptions allowed under the law, including for trade secrets, research data and records in which opinions are expressed.None of the exemptions "are applicable, and some were plainly asserted in bad faith," according to the lawsuit.Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan agreed in part last year, writing in a nonbinding opinion that some of the redactions had been improper. The group claims the university still did not produce the records.U. of I. veterinarian Lyndon Goodly, director of the division of animal resources, explained the university's response during a speech at a national conference last year titled "Can we survive the open records request?" During the panel discussion, part of the American Association of Laboratory Animal Sciences conference, Goodly told the audience that U. of I. has "been fighting like hell to hold onto our records.""

Stop giving up your records and all your information without a fight. It's a law, but every law just like the regulatory environment we live in, it's up for interpretation," he said, according to a recording provided to the Tribune by the Beagle Freedom Project. "The last thing we need is for our quote-unquote animals to be rescued. Our animals don't need to be rescued; we take very good care of them."A U. of I. spokesman declined to comment because the university doesn't discuss pending litigation, but he said in a statement that the university "responds in good faith to all FOIA requests.""And a cornerstone of the university's research mission is to promote animal health and alleviate animal suffering," according to the statement. Dogs are used in research at the university's Urbana-Champaign and Chicago campuses.The lawsuit names the U. of I. board of trustees and Thomas Hardy, executive director for university relations, who oversees FOIA requests.In its lawsuit, the group asked a judge to declare the university in violation of FOIA and order it to produce the records.
