Admissions & Medical Services Campus

All pets that enter Wright-Way Rescue's adoption program come through its Admissions & Medical Services Campus based in Murphysboro, Illinois.

Once they are rescued from an animal control facility or surrendered by their owner, animals receive veterinary care, sometimes for the very first time. From vaccinations to lifesaving treatments, the dogs and cats that are saved are in the hands of talented on-staff veterinarians and veterinary technicians.

Located in southern Illinois, Wright-Way Rescue's Admissions & Medical Services Campus offers wooded walking trails for dogs to exercise, a large exercise area for dogs to run and play, and state-of-the-art veterinary facilities to ensure that each pet is healthy for adoption.

Critical Care Center

Wright-Way Rescue's Critical Care Center provides shelters an alternative to euthanasia for shelter animals that contract contagious but treatable illness.

The new center is a completely separate 3,000 square-foot medical facility that cares for the most needy of homeless pets. The fully renovated facility is located 3 miles from the Wright-Way Rescue Admissions & Medical Services Campus in Murphysboro, Illinois, and is staffed by experienced veterinary technicians and veterinarians.

The facility serves as a safe haven for:

• Rescued animals that become ill, due to prior exposure, during their quarantine period

• An alternative to euthanasia for rural animal control facilities with sick animals or animals that have been exposed to illness

• Animals from other rescue groups that do not have the funds or space to treat sick animals

By routing animals that contract disease in quarantine, maintaining cross-contamination protocol and providing quality and consistent care and treatment to animals that have contracted illness, this critical care center SAVES LIVES!

Program Accomplishments:

• Since the opening of the Critical Care Center in January 2016, community members wishing to surrender ill pets are welcomed. Their pets now receive the lifesaving treatment they need to become adoptable.

• The Critical Care Center has a 96% save rate of all pets that are accepted through the facility.

• The save rate among puppies with Parvovirus boasts an outstanding 89% success rate due to immediate and quality treatment.

• The Critical Care Center has rescued more than 300 puppies from death at other shelters.

• The protocols instituted at the Critical Care Center allow treating parvo at 1/10th the cost of a private vet clinic.

• Wright-Way Rescue invests an average of $200 towards the treatment of each puppy treated for parvo virus.

• Cats and kittens transferred to the Critical Care Center for moderate to severe upper respiratory are given ample time to recover while not posing a threat to infecting the general shelter population.
