Comptroller’s Critters, created by Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka and carried on in her honor, helps you locate pet adoption shelters throughout Illinois. Our goal is to give you the resources you need to adopt a pet, which in turn reduces animal control costs at a local level. The Office partners with shelters throughout Illinois to help reduce the number of animals waiting for adoption.
Email critters@illinoiscomptroller.gov to learn more or enroll your shelter in Comptroller's Critters.
Search for a Comptroller's Critters shelter by zip code, county, or shelter name.
