Pets In Need Midwest is a state licensed, No-Kill, Non-Profit 501(c-3) Animal Shelter.
Pets In Need Midwest was founded in 1991 by Pat and Rudy Klimo in Ringwood, Illinois. We are a state licensed, No-Kill, Non-Profit 501(c-3) Animal Shelter. We do not receive any government funding, relying solely on adoption fees, private donations, and fund raising activities. Our mission is to "champion the humane treatment of domesticated animals" through the following means: adhering to the principle that no animal will ever be euthanized to make room for another; providing temporary shelter and veterinary care as necessary for those unwanted or lost pets until either their owners or suitable adoptive homes can be located; reuniting lost pets with their owners; locating suitable adoptive homes for unwanted dogs, cats, and other pets; promoting public awareness of and accessability to low cost spay/neuter programs for pets.
