Angel Dog Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dog rescue headquartered in Naperville, Illinois. Founded in 2023 by Teresa Ryan, we pull dogs from the country’s most overcrowded, highest-kill shelters, get them vetted and cared for, and place them in foster and adoptive homes throughout the Chicagoland area and beyond. Foster placement is always our goal. When foster homes are not available, dogs stay safe with trusted partners while we work to find them families. Since our founding we have rescued dogs from shelters in Illinois, California, Georgia, Texas, Alabama and Missouri.

Angel Dog Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dog rescue based in Naperville, Illinois. We rescue dogs from high-kill shelters across the country, provide veterinary care and safe housing, and place them in foster and adoptive homes. We were founded in 2023 by Teresa Ryan.
Most of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes or with partners in the Naperville and greater Chicagoland area. Some dogs are still in their origin states, like California, awaiting homes.
Start by browsing our adoptable dogs and submitting an application. We also hold regular adoption events at local pet stores in Naperville and the Chicago suburbs where you can meet dogs in person. Upcoming events are listed on this page and on our Facebook page.
Fostering is the single most valuable thing you can do, because every foster home lets us pull another dog from a shelter. If fostering isn’t possible, donations fund veterinary care, boarding, food, and transport, and sharing our dogs’ posts genuinely helps them get seen.
