ADOPTION EVENT: Big changes are coming to PAWS, and we need YOUR help!

We're getting ready to install a brand-new HVAC system at our Adoption Center to keep our pets healthier, safer, and more comfortable. But before construction begins, we need to find loving homes for as many pets as possible!

That's where you come in!
This Saturday and Sunday, adoption fees will be waived* on select pets! Every adoption helps us prepare for this important upgrade while giving a homeless pet the chance to start a new chapter with a family of their own.

Visit our website to see participating pets, marked "Adoption Event" on their profiles. Your new best friend could be waiting!

*A $150 training fee still applies to all dog adoptions

Luther knew exactly where to go for help. 
 
Early one morning, this little guy walked right up to the doors of our Medical Center and started pawing to be let inside. He waited there until PAWS staff began arriving for the day, and they quickly came to his rescue. In a way, it feels like Luther rescued himself.
 
He was dirty, thin and battling an upper respiratory infection. And while he was brave enough to ask for help, learning to trust the people giving it to him has taken a little more time. Luther is still shy and tentative, but each day, he’s coming a little further out of his shell. We’ve also discovered the quickest way to his heart: Lick Sticks. Those he’s VERY sure about.
 
Now, what he needs most is a quiet foster home where he can kick his kitty cold and learn that indoor life can be pretty great.
 
Help Luther take his next brave step. If you’re interested in giving this shy guy a safe space, reach out to our foster team. 💛

The sweetest adoption is brewing this National Coffee Day!
 
After spending eight years with a family, senior sweetheart Latte was returned to PAWS in February through no fault of her own. Suddenly back in a shelter, Latte was understandably overwhelmed and needed time to feel safe again.
 
Thanks to a few wonderful foster families, Latte slowly came out of her shell, revealing the sweet, loving girl we knew was there all along. And her most recent fosters? They fell HARD.
 
Today, on National Coffee Day, Latte's fosters made it official and adopted her! We couldn't think of a more perfect way to celebrate than with a fresh start for our favorite kind of Latte. 
 
Help us brew up more happy endings like Latte's! Donate to our Cup for a Pup campaign: donate.pawschicago.org/campaign/84498…

Today, every donation will be MATCHED, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000, thanks to @StellaBlueCoff
