On Angels' Wings - Pet Rescue & Resale Store - Crystal Lake, Illinois

I'm a first-time shopper at this thrift store and pet rescue! I entered and heard dogs barking and was curious and intrigued at the concept of helping animals in need. It is a very large thrift store and jam-packed with all kinds of items. The picture section was one of the largest I have seen in a thrift store. They also had some unique antique and vintage items mixed in the newer and more everyday thrift store items.

I did get to see the dogs, and the area was clean and smelled fresh. There was a new arrival dog in a kennel who looked comfortable and relaxed. (See photo) They even had a cat sitting room, which looked clean and pet friendly.

They had a lot of nice items and clothes. We ended up buying a bunch of items, and the lady at the cash register was really nice!

Spend some time there looking high and low because things can be buried or tucked back in shelves.

This is an absolutely fantastic resale shop along with it also being an animal adoption center. There was a lot of good looking clothing and a lot of homewares, furniture, etc. Everything looked to be in good condition as well. There was quite a bit of jewelery in the cases around the cash register. At the back of the building were the cats and dogs available for adoption. The cats have their own little rooms with toys and cat trees. The dogs have this big area in the back where it looks like they might be able to roam around a little bit.

Absolutely love this store. I had help from Michelle who is an absolute gem. She took time away from setting up what looked like a really awesome section of things. She helped me around the store explaining everything. She was so much help and the puppies were so cute. If I ever I am able to I will definitely try to adopt one. Especially the dachshunds. I just love those wiener dogs lol. And I really need to thank Michelle for all she did. Really, she's just the best employee.

We adopted our sweet Hippo from On Angel’s Wings in March 2018. The adoption experience was simple and easy, and I was glad that they are so thorough (but also quick!) to ensure the animals are going to a good home. They called our references while we waited and cuddled with our pup. All the puppies from this litter were so well taken care of, they had been born in a foster home as they rescued the pregnant mother. The foster mother (human) was there to answer questions about the different puppies’ personalities and clearly had cared for them so well. The conditions in the building were very clean and organized, there were several volunteers there helping. This rescue is also a resale shop/thrift store, and all the proceeds go towards supporting the animals. Excellent business, with so much heart and soul being put into it. The animals rescued here are so lucky. 💜

We got our furry baby girl, Mia, from this great organization. We’ve had her one day and she’s already a part of our family. We adore her! Bridget was fabulous and gave us all the information needed to get Mia started with her new life. Thank you!

I adopted two kitties from On Angels Wings. They always get back to me as soon as possible. It is a small shelter but they care deeply for the animals there. I am waiting to get another kitty from On Angels Wings and wouldn't go anywhere else. They are amazing local shelter in Crystal Lake.

Best of both worlds; shopping and animals under one roof! The staff and volunteers are very compassionate about saving and helping furry friends in need, finding them their forever loving homes!
