Sheriff's Office Reduces Stress with Pets 

The Cook County Sheriff’s Office recently announced a wellness program for its staff, offering the opportunity to volunteer with PAWS pets in an effort to reduce stress. Not only is this program beneficial to participants, but it gives PAWS pets more time to socialize and prepare for adoption. A very warm welcome to our new volunteer partners!

One Potato, Two Potato, Three 

Ellie Feldmann recently fostered three adorable puppies from our Texas tornado crisis relief efforts—her 144–146th foster dogs. 

“I cannot imagine a day when I don’t foster. There are still tears on drop-off days but that is okay. You know you did something amazing for a dog in need to set them up for success with their forever home.”
