The DeWitt County Animal Shelter was formed in the early 70's after a new law was passed in Illinois that required counties to establish an Animal Control Program. The Shelter was built around 1972 or 1973, as required by this law, and according to state specifications. Dr. Mary Ella Mennenga, DVM, is the Animal Control Administrator, and Tamara McFeeters is the Animal Control Officer. For many years there was no adoption program at the Shelter, so the animals were euthanized when they weren't reclaimed. In January 1991 though, that all changed when the DeWitt County Board passed a new Animal Control Ordinance that allowed animals to be adopted from the Shelter. Since that time, two not-for-profit organizations have helped adopt out animals from the Shelter. The current organization is Second Chance for Pets. The organization donates food, supplies, vaccinations, and vet care when needed for the Shelter animals.

Genesis Animal Rescue is dedicated to the immediate rescue and follow-up rehabilitation of any animal in need. We are a state-licensed, non-profit 501C-3 group. All incoming animals are given a complete health check upon arrival in their foster home. A thorough temperment test is performed on all domestic animals prior to any and all foster stays or eventual adoption into a forever home. After evaluating individual temperment, the animals then begin the process of healing. Severe abuse and neglect are common among incoming animals. The healing process encompasses both physical as well as psycological healing.
If you are considering adopting a pet from us, please review our entire website before contacting us (EMAIL ONLY PLEASE) Most of your questions/concerns about adoption are answered in full on the adoption info page. Please remember that we are all volunteers and we do our best to respond to you in a timely manner. Your patience is appreciated! We thank you for your interest and wish you the best of luck in your search!

All dogs live in a foster home where they are given time to settle in. Based on what is observed in the foster home, the dog will then be placed in the most appropriate adoptive home. Basic obedience, crate training, housebreaking or reinforcing housebreaking, as well as socializing with other dogs, are among the functions of the foster home. We currently have a very limited amount of foster homes, therefore homeless shelter labs take first priority.
We adopt to homes in Southeastern Wisconsin, Northeastern Illinois, and Northwestern Indiana.
