Who We Are

 Thank you for your interest in US!

A Journey Home is a 501(c)3, all foster/volunteer based rescue in illinois. Our rescues are living with families in their homes. 

​

We do not have a shelter.  

Why We Need You

Marble Surface

Murphy

We believe he is about 50 lbs and approx. 5 years old.  His coat feels live velvet.  He is house & kennel trained, good on a leash, and very sweet.  He is reactive to male dogs but does good with females dogs.

Syd

Syd is about a year old and 50 lbs.  He is a happy-go-lucky playful boy.  He loves other dogs and likes to cuddle.  He is house trained and likes to go on walks.

Foster Homes Needed!

If you have thought about fostering now is the time to try.  Despite all of the chaos it is an amazing feeling opening up your home to a dog that is in need of love and a warm bed. You can be part of a stepping stone to them finding a family of their own and bringing joy to all!  We were contacted by a new area that desperately needs help and we  would love to be able to but we can't do it without you!  Everything is provided for you, you just need to open your home and heart for a few weeks.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Adopter

"We are so grateful for A Journey Home Dog Rescue and the care they provided for our pup, until we met him. The rescue and his foster saved his life and we're so happy he ended up in our home. Chance has changed our lives in so many ways and we are so happy to have found him, and A Journey Home! A Journey Home will always hold a special place in our hearts and we hope everyone gets to experience the joy that comes from saving a dog's life."

- Natalie Torres and Joel Sandoval

Foster

"For our family, fostering has been a way that we can help and give back to our community together as a family. All 10 in our family can help with the dogs in some small way. By having all 8 of our kids surround these dogs with love and attention, it completely socializes the dogs and they experience kids of all ages just by living in our home. Our kids have learned true self sacrifice, responsibility, love, patience, and kindness through fostering these pups, and we are so thankful we have had these opportunities to love them."

- Donna Biernacki

Foster to Adopter

"The process for us to become Bean’s forever family was really easy. There is always an adjustment period when bringing a new dog home but it is so much fun to watch as they come out of their shell and you get to know their personality. After a couple weeks we knew that Beanie was meant to stay with us. A Journey Home Dog Rescue was there to guide us every step of the way, beginning to end. If you have ever thought about fostering/adoption, please open your heart to an animal in need!"

- Melissa Baggett
