Animal Education and Rescue, NFP is an Illinois not for profit 501(c)(3) organization. The purpose of the foundation is to help countless numbers of animals and people.
AEAR is a unique Humane Society. In addition to finding homes for rescue pets, they focus a lot of their efforts towards helping the community through their main programs.
Humane Investigations: They have a team of dedicated investigators who respond to reports of animal abuse and neglect. Their investigators help educate owners on proper pet care, work with owners in need of assistance and, rescue animals from bad situations. The investigators are in the front lines and often go into very poor and dangerous areas to help these animals.
AEAR Investigators are assisted by their Community Outreach Program which goes out into low-income neighborhoods offering assistance and advice to pet owners. Thanks to this proactive program, AEAR is able to help out pet owners who many not know what options they have when it comes to providing proper care and medical treatment for their pets.
Pet Therapy: AEAR visits area nursing homes, other approved facilities, or homebound individuals on a monthly basis. It brings joy to so many people who are going through a difficult time and is an important part in giving back to our community.
Education: AEAR visits local schools and community centers where they offer educational programs to help teach kids about proper pet care and treatment. They specialize in at-risk locations where the children may not have the opportunity to experience these things on a regular basis.
