PAWS Chicago (Pets Are Worth Saving) is the city’s largest No Kill humane organization. Through a solution-based approach to animal welfare, PAWS Chicago has placed Chicago on track to become a No Kill city where pets are no longer destroyed because they are homeless.

Since PAWS Chicago’s founding in 1997, the number of homeless pets euthanized per year has dropped from 42,561 to 19,288 – more than a 50 percent decrease!

In the fall of 2007, PAWS Chicago celebrated a milestone by opening the Midwest’s first No Kill, cageless, state-of-the-art adoption center for dogs and cats in Lincoln park. PAWS Chicago will find homes for more than 3,000 homeless pets in 2008, and is on track to increase this number in 2009. With higher adoption numbers, the cost of medical treatments and caring for homeless pets has greatly increased.  All proceeds raised from Beach Party go directly to the animals.
