Who We Are

Petropolis Adoptions is an all-volunteer, non-profit, foster home-based,  animal adoption organization based out of Round Lake, IL, and dedicated to uniting homeless dogs and cats with loving, lifelong homes. 

We are geared towards first time adopters and towards making adoption an easy and rewarding experience leading to a lifetime of pet guardianship.  We pride ourselves on our friendly, open-minded approach and on our commitment to matching the right pet to our adopters’ needs. 

The majority of our animals come from animal controls and open admission shelters, where overcrowding and overpopulation lead to the euthanasia of millions of healthy, friendly pets every year. 

In further service to our community, we also offer referrals to a variety of resources that promote responsible pet care and an emphasis on the need for spay/neuter.

We do not have a physical shelter.  Instead, we operate primarily at adoption events that are held most weekends at area pet supply stores and other venues.

Puppy Mill Busted: Pups Get a Second Chance!

Petropolis News

On Tuesday, March 24th, Chicago Police raided a suspected puppy mill operating on the South Side and rescued 67 pups and small dogs that were living in bird cages!  The dogs were taken to Chicago Animal Care and Control, and from there were transferred to cooperating shelters and rescue organizations to be rehabilitated and prepared for adoption.

Although we are a very small organization (particularly alongside big names like PAWS Chicago and Anti-Cruelty Society), we do work regularly with Chicago Animal Control to give abandoned dogs and cats another chance.  Because of this, we were happy to help lend a hand, and so three of the South Side puppy mill pups headed out to Round Lake to enjoy a chance to stretch their legs in the suburbs!

As of May 1st, the pups have all been adopted and are on their way to new, loving homes.
