Now, with the new Adoption & Humane Center in
Lincoln Park, PAWS Chicago is launching a Family
Service program, where children over 12 and a parent
or adult guardian can work on behalf of homeless
pets together. These Family Service volunteers will
become advocates for
the animals, learning about important issues like
pet homelessness, dog fighting, puppy mills,
spay/neuter, and the No Kill movement. They will
be able to interact with PAWS Chicago’s homeless
dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens, socializing and
assisting with daily care at the new Center, as well
as help with special projects that will benefit
homeless pets. This program will educate families
and create future leadership for the animals.
When: Every Saturday & Sunday morning, 9:00 -
11:00 a.m
and Monday's 10 a.m. - noon
Where: PAWS Chicago Adoption & Humane Center at 1997
N. Clybourn in Lincoln Park (Parking is available
across Clybourn in the Anixter Center Parking Lot
