Since its founding, PAWS Chicago has helped many shelters and rescue groups find families for their homeless pets by hosting adoption events like Angels with Tails and Home for the Holidays throughout Chicagoland. Adoption Connection is a virtual adoption venue that can help prospective adopters find the pet of their dreams. Many of these shelters and rescue groups have the opportunity to showcase their pets in the Community Room at the PAWS Chicago Adoption & Humane Center in Lincoln Park.
Please be aware that if you adopt a pet through PAWS Chicago’s Adoption Connection, you are not directly adopting from PAWS Chicago. Adoption policies and processes differ with each shelter. If you want to adopt a pet from PAWS Chicago, click here for dogs available and cats available for adoption.
