For Shelters & Rescues
We invest in the community by providing a sliding scale of services including free and sponsored support for animals from Chicago Animal Care & Control and their adoptive families, who would not otherwise have access to these essential resources.
We exist to help animals and the humans who love them, to decrease returns and euthanasia’s, while increasing the success of adoptions. Give back with support going to animals at risk for euthanasia by providing sponsored services to help them find and stay in a home.
