About PAWS Chicago

PAWS Chicago opened the Lurie Spay/Neuter Clinic in 2000 in Little Village, serving Chicago's most under-resourced communities. As the largest free and low-cost spay/neuter clinic in Chicago, the Lurie Clinic performed more than 17,000 spay/neuter surgeries last year, the majority fully subsidized for families on Medicaid and those animals most in need.

In 2007, PAWS Chicago opened the Adoption & Humane Center, a state-of-the-art, cageless, No Kill shelter located in the vibrant Lincoln Park neighborhood. Last year, more than 4,000 homeless pets found loving homes through the Adoption Center. Please come visit at 1997 N. Clybourn Ave!

Since its founding, PAWS Chicago has relied heavily on the support of the community. With a small staff and no government funding, PAWS Chicago's life-saving work is accomplished solely because of the time, dedication and commitment of generous supporters who continue to help save homeless pets.

PAWS Chicago is rated a four-star charity by Charity Navigator, the nation's largest independent charity evaluator, for efficient use of donor funds. Please consider helping PAWS Chicago build a No Kill city by returning the enclosed envelope.
