PAWS Chicago--Because Pets Are Worth Saving

1. Homeless pets should not be killed! The No Kill model is a proven way to humanely care for all pets.
2. Save a life by adopting from a shelter
3. Support No Kill humane organizations, where resources go to saving lives, not ending them!
4. Reduce unwanted puppies and kittens through spay/neuter

PAWS Chicago is the city's largest No Kill humane organization, focused on alleviating the community's tragic pet overpopulation problem--19,701 dogs and cats were euthanized in Chicago in 2006. PAWS Chicago envisions a no-kill Chicago--a city in which pets are not destroyed just because they are homeless. Since PAWS Chicago was founded in 1997, the number of homeless pets killed has been more than halved: from more than 42,000 to less than 20,000.

PAWS Chicago has just opened the first cageless, state-of-the-art, No Kill shelter in the Midwest in Lincoln Park and anticipates finding homes for 3,000 pets this year. Additionally, PAWS Chicago operates the Lurie Spay/Neuter Clinic which provides free spay/neuter for pets of people on public assistance or living in the city's most low-income neighborhoods, projecting more than 15,000 surgeries this year.
