Building Hope, Expanding our Reach…

Ever since Reach Rescue started back in 2011, we have grown and grown. We were proud to have rescued and found homes for around 60 dogs that year. Now, we have the resources and volunteers to find homes for that many in just two months or less. During our weekly adoption events at the rescue, our space which once seemed abundant now overflows with people and dogs. We are simply bursting at the seams, and every inch is being utilized. It was always important to us that we stayed in Mundelein, where it all started. In the fall of 2021, Reach Rescue officially closed on three acres of land off of Route 45 in Mundelein that will eventually become our permanent home. The land currently sits three structures that are scheduled to be demolished Fall of 2024. Our team is currently working on the extensive permitting processes, all kinds of plans, and pre-construction to-do’s. In early November 2024, the two unusable structures on the property were demolished and the land is currently being graded.

Our future campus will include an adoption facility that further accommodates our growing needs, intake garage, revamped medical room, outdoor exercise areas, training space, community pet food pantry and more — but we need all the support we can get.
