Partners For Pets volunteers regularly visit animal control facilities and rescue animals that have used up their time, need medical care and/or are too fragile for shelter life. Partners for Pets provides care to each animal prior to adoption. This includes, depending on their age: booster shots, worming, heartworm check, & monthly preventative, rabies shot, spay/neuter, grooming, flea/tick prevention, and other necessary care.

Veterinary care is provided at reduced cost through Horseshoe Lake Animal Hospital and St. Louis Veterinary Center. A big "Thank You" to Horseshoe Lake and St. Louis Veterinary Center for all of their excellent work. About 5% of the animals are kept in foster care until adopted while the other 95% are kept in a shelter environment until they are adopted. Adoptions take place at PETsMART in Glen Carbon, IL.
