About Us
We will prevent well balanced dogs from being euthanized at shelters, both locally and nationwide.

WILD Canine Rescue (WILD) was founded in July 2016 by a group of friends who are committed and passionate women that are WILD about dogs! We are bonded over a WILD love of dogs and a desire to help shelter animals. Our goal was to bridge the gap between local animal shelters in central Illinois, and foster based rescues nationally to facilitate placement of local dogs in urgent situations (homeless, abandoned, neglected or abused). 

We are a 501(c)3 non profit organization and registered with Guidestar.org.  We are licensed with the Illinois Department of Agriculture and have licensed, trained animal cruelty investigators on call for service. 

WILD Canine Rescue is devoted to saving animals in need. We are dedicated to proper care and welfare of animals who are homeless, abandoned and abused WILD will rescue dogs when they have run out of time in shelters or are in need of medical treatment.   Our dogs live in volunteer foster homes, learning the basics living in a home and receiving any veterinary treatment they may require. Alongside these efforts, WILD will also operate a rescue in Springfield IL, Mr. Lincoln's Hometown–taking a limited number of dogs, who may by no choice of their own, have lost their home. WILD will also provide emergency relief for dogs that have been misplaced due to natural disasters. 

Our Volunteer Board includes:  

Jill Egizii, President, Lee Ann Williams, Caitlin Graham, Maria Oldani,  Kristi Horn & Charlene Walsh
