Starfish Animal Rescue

www.starfishanimalrescue.com We are a foster based rescue out of Illinois and most animals are transported from two high-kill shelters in rural Kentucky.


The mission of Starfish Animal Rescue is to rescue animals from high kill shelters, provide transportation of these animals to secure, non-kill establishments, to promote and facilitate responsible pet ownership, and to intervene in cases of animal cruelty. We commit to eliminating euthanasia of companion animals in North America one shelter at a time.


We are a rescue in the Chicagoland area with foster homes in many suburbs. Our primary business locations are in Batavia and Plainfield, IL. We do not have a shelter for viewing animals. We are 100% foster home based and schedule meet and greets with approved applications only. We also hold adoption events so please keep an eye on our page for dates and times!
