Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation Mission
We are 100% volunteer based and do not have a facility. Our mission is to reunite found pets on the Northwest Side of Chicago and rehome those whose owners cannot be found. With the help of Portage Park Animal Hospital, Rising Sun Veterinary Clinic, Dog House of L.C.& L. and Pack Mentality Dog Training we are able to provide veterinary care, grooming services and training. We are only able to rescue and provide care with the generous help of our ever growing network of animal lovers. Some of our programs are Microchipping Initiatives, Court Advocacy for victims (animals) of cruelty and abuse, and Pet Food Pantry for those in need.
