4 Paws 4 U 4 Ever is a family run shelter that believes in the rights of animals to be treated with kindness and love.
We rescue our little furkids from areas that are overpopulated with unwanted animals and where there is a good possibility that they will be euthanized. Some of the areas include Oklahoma, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Indiana, Arkansas and Texas. We watch their health, offer them shelter and provide them with a loving environment until the right family is found. Spaying and neutering is mandatory with all our animals. Our goal is to find the right family to receive the unconditional love that only a pet can give.
And here's how it all started...
John & Shari Casey started 4 Paws 4 U 4 Ever in 2004 with a passion for dogs, 1 liter of puppies, a pen in their kitchen and a desire to find good homes for the puppies. What started as a small venture has now turned into a much larger shelter that has found homes for many hundreds of dogs.
John & Shari rescue dogs from shelters where they would be euthanized. They run the shelter out of their home on Roosevelt Road in West Chicago and are self funded along with the help of donations.
John and Shari have made this their mission in life and give so much, their home, their time and lives for this cause. When you meet them you cannot help but be inspired by their generosity and love for these animals.
They have met several people who not only have become friends but who share in their passion and are volunteering their time. Work is never over and many more volunteers are needed.
