Volunteer Application

Illinois Shorthair Rescue - As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, our volunteers, GSPs, and the public’s health and safety are our top priorities. We are accepting applications and actively responding to requests. Due to social distancing guidelines, we are adjusting our adoption process. Please be patient with us as we process applications while you shelter in place.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with ISR!

Please note that part of the volunteer approval process is a vet check and a home visit. Please inform your vet office that IL Shorthair Rescue will be calling. Thank you for your assistance in expediting the volunteer approval process.
