4 Paws 4 U 4 Ever, formally known as Wags R Riches, is a family run shelter that believes in the rights of animals, they should be given the chance to give and receive happiness.
We rescue our little furkids from areas like Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Arkansas and Texas, that are overpopulated and where animals are euthanized. We provide medical checkups and give current shots. Spaying and neutering is mandatory with all our animals. Our goal is to find the right family to receive the unconditional love that only a pet can give.
And here's how it all started...
John & Shari Casey started 4 Paws 4 U 4 Ever 5 years ago with a passion for dogs, 1 liter of puppies, a pen in their kitchen and a desire to find good homes for the puppies. What started as a small venture has now turned into a much larger shelter that in 2007 found homes to several hundred dogs.
John & Shari rescue dogs from shelters where they would be euthanized. They run the shelter out of their home on Roosevelt Road in West Chicago and is self funded along with the help of donations.
John and Shari have made this their mission in life and give so much, their home, their time and lives for this cause and still maintain full time jobs. When you meet them you cannot help but be inspired by their generosity and love for these animals.
They have met several people who not only have become friends but who share in their passion and are volunteering their time. Work is never over and many more volunteers are needed.
