Noah's Ark Pet Supplies in Winnetka
Noah's Ark Pet Store in Winnetka is owned by Angie DeMars - and as far as animals go, she walks the 
walk. Her pet store caters to all things animal, but she is a dedicated and passionate advocate for for adoption and works closely with PAWS Chicago (Pets Are Worth Saving) a no-kill shelter.
Angie grew up in Colorado and is a life long animal lover. After graduating from college, she bought a one-way ticket to Chicago because she had seen the city so many times in movies and felt it would be a great place to live. She went right to work at KPMG as a data base manager and eventually got married and settled down in Winnetka.
She adopted a sickly Maltese named Mimi from PAWS, and through the rigors of taking care of her dog, she became passionate about animals and began to get more involved in volunteering for PAWS. She took a part time job at Noah's Ark and in March of 2003 bought the store from the previous owner.
Because of her experience of caring fo rher sick dog, she learned a lot that helps her with current customers and their pets. Although she's not a veterinarian, she has sved two dogs that she correctly diagnosed with heart failure and advised the owners to take their pets to emergency immediately!
Noah's Ark carries all-natural pet foods that are made with higher quality ingredients with no by-products or filler, plus a huge assortment of pet supplies. She also caters to owners of birds, lizards, fish, hamsters, etc. Crickets are available for owners of certain critters that eat them. Noah's Ark sells every other imaginable thing for your pet.
But Angie offers much more than pet supplies. She is an Adoption Counselor for Paws and has helped adopt over 100 animals. She educates people on adoption and helps people with all the necessary paperwork. She herself fosters cats for Paws as well as lost and stray cats that are found in Winnetka which she feels is necessary since Winnetka has no animal control. In Glencoe, there is animal control and she partners with them and offers food for captured animals.
The store also offers kittens for adoption - on any given day, there might be a cage in the store with 
adoptable kittens from PAWS or another nearby shelter.
In addition, Angie hosts several dog adoption days where the PAWS dogs are offered and shown off in front of the store with volunteer handlers. These are usually held in warmer weather, and I will post the dates as they become available.
Angie loves her job, her work with animals, and interacting with her customers - she also offers a 10% discount after 10 purchases of dog or cat food. Support her store and her efforts on behalf of animals at
