The PAWS Chicago 5K is our largest gathering of the year, raising critical funds and awareness for homeless dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens. In addition to saving lives, the PAWS Chicago 5K is a day filled with sponsor giveaways, a dog agility course, a pet spa with dog massages, a photostation and other fun photo ops, raffles, treats, and meeting other pet lovers.
