Round of a-paw-lause for PAWSChicago, saving the lives of animals in the city for 25 years.
PAWS was created to be a no-kill shelter focused on placing homeless animals in forever homes and funding spay and neutering surgeries to help control the population.
Fasseas says she quickly learned that controlling the population of homeless animals would make the biggest impact in preventing the use of euthanasia. “The first thing PAWS Chicago did was open a high-volume spay-neuter clinic in Little Village,” Fasseas said. Most of the homeless pet population was coming from underserved communities where spaying and neutering is very costly. “This year we will have completed our 300,000 spay-neuter surgery,” Fasseas said.
The medical center has provided service to more than 25,000 homeless and at-risk pets annually and PAWS Chicago has led to a 91% reduction in homeless animal deaths in the city, according to the organization.
