Chicago is in the midst of a historic surge in homeless and at-risk pets. Animal Care & Control (CACC), the city impoundment facility, euthanized 22.7% more pets in 2023 than the year before.
PAWS has answered the call to help. In 2023, we expanded our long-standing relationship with CACC, introducing PAWS 360@CACC, a program providing support for animals at every stage in their shelter journeys. But another threat looms large:
With the warm weather, waves of new kittens and puppies are being born. We need to expand lifesaving efforts, including spay/neuter, right now to stop an even greater surge this fall.
This Giving Day, you have the power to help prevent suffering on a massive scale. DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT with the $10,000 matching gift challenge extension issued by Nancy Aversa.
The PAWS Chicago red bandana symbolizes a life saved and we tie it around each pet upon adoption. With a $50+ donation, we'll gift you a PAWS Chicago red bandana to remind you of the life you helped save today.
