PAWS Chicago is the city's largest no kill humane organization, focused on implementing solutions to end the killing of homeless pets. It is truly tragic how people can just abandon an animal and leave it behind after the move simply because they can’t find a better solution. Since PAWS Chicago's founding in 1997, the number of homeless dogs and cats killed annually has dropped more than 60 percent: from more than 42,000 homeless pets killed in 1997 to fewer than 18,000 killed in 2011. “PAWS Chicago is thrilled to be included in The Chicago Tribune’s roundup of charities that received top performance ratings from at least two independent charity evaluators, which review charities based on their efficient use of donor funds.” –Chicago Tribune.
PAWS Chicago is working to build a no kill Chicago - a city where pets are no longer destroyed just because they are homeless. PAWS Chicago will find new homes for more than 5,000 homeless pets this year at the state-of-the-art Lincoln Park Adoption & Humane Center. The PAWS Chicago Lurie Spay/Neuter Clinic, the largest free spay/neuter clinic in Chicago and the nation, will sterilize more than 18,000 pets of low-income families this year. “We are happy to announce that for the ninth consecutive year in a row, Charity Navigator has awarded PAWS Chicago with a 4-star rating.” – Charity Navigator.
The best solution to the homeless pet
problem is to successfully educate people about spaying and neutering their
pets. It is relative inexpensive and the benefits are of a lifetime, not to
mention that .your pet will not have mood swings and whatever aggressiveness (if
any) will quickly faint away. “Every year, millions of cats and dogs of all
ages and breeds are euthanized or suffer as strays. These high numbers are the
result of unplanned litters that could have been prevented by spaying or
neutering.” - ASPCA.
