Right now, at the moment I’m writing this, 4,421 formerly homeless dogs and cats are enjoying loving homes in 2022 because of you, the PAWS Chicago community. And by the end of December, that number will be even higher.
We are so thankful for the many people who made this possible. But words simply don’t do it justice. I’d like you to see and, even more, feel in your heart the significance of what your support has achieved.
So, the next time you’re out of the city on a clear night, please look up. If conditions are just right, you can see over 4,400 stars shining through the darkness. Our adoption program will save even more than that this year. And that doesn't include the thousands of lives saved through free or subsidized medical care, outreach, education and support.
I hope it takes your breath away like it does mine.
During the harsh winter months, adoptions are even more important as each makes room for another animal in need of safety and warmth. If you were thinking about adding a furry little star to your family, there couldn’t be a better time.

Pet-Sized Gift Drive
Through December 23
Please stop by our Adoption Center to donate new, unwrapped pet toys and supplies. Or skip the trip and choose a gift in our Holiday Giving Guide.
For an animal once living on the street, something as simple as a freshly laundered blanket or a single dose of medicine can mean the world. And with your help, we can make sure even more pets enjoy comfort and care over the holidays.
Please keep homeless pets in your heart and give what you can. Every bit makes a big difference.
Drop Off Location:
