Fosters of the Week
Please help us!
Foster volunteers help save more lives!
By fostering a homeless pet, you enable us to have greater space at our Rescue and Recovery Center to save more animals. Many puppies, kittens, dogs and cats are sitting at the city pound, uncertain of their fates. The more animals we can take in, the more lives we can save.

Puppies and Kittens
All puppies and kittens who arrive at PAWS Chicago have under-developed immune systems. Fosters provide puppies and kittens with a safe haven for two weeks, giving them time to grow and develop. Once they are healthy enough to receive vaccinations and their spay/neuter surgery, they make their way to the Adoption Shelter.
Momma Lab & 7 Pups
Momma yellow lab and her litter of 7 young yellow lab mix puppies in need of a loving foter to take them all in! Momma Lab’s puppies are 4-weeks old and would need 2-weeks in foster…or 3 weeks if you are up for it.
Tweet & Twitter
All of 6 lbs. each these 2 are the cutest tiny pups ever! These 2 tiny munchkins are so silly as they wobble around the room…it could be one of the cutest things we have ever seen!
Maize
Maize is a very pretty girl, and shy girl. This sweetheart is sure to keep you good company on these cold winter nights, and will need some TLC as she is a bit scared. She will need to be fostered for two weeks before she is able to receive her spay surgery.
Thomas
Thomas loves to cuddle with his teddy bear but is really looking for some attention from a nurturing foster family. Thomas needs to spend two weeks in foster while he awaits his surgery and gets ready for adoption.
Yama
This little kitty would be a great one to foster. She is looking for lots of love and attention and will make a great cuddle buddy for a lucky foster family.
Yumi
Yumi is a cool cat that likes to nap and play. He is a loveable little guy and will fill your home with lots of friendly energy.
Socialization
Some of the dogs and cats who arrive at PAWS Chicago need additional time in foster to build confidence and reduce stress. Socialization fosters work with PAWS Chicago's training partners to provide structure, socialization and basic training so that these dogs and cats are well-suited for adoption and make wonderful companions.
Violet
This sweet one is very social, and goes straight for your lap whenever you see her. Violet never seems to have a bad day which will certainly help lift the spirits of anyone she’s around.
Juniper
Juniper is a little stressed here at PAWS and would really benefit from a foster home where she can relax. She would do best an adult only home, and with an easy-going dog as a roommate or as the only dog.
