Dipper's Story

"Dipper is one of the most affectionate dogs I've ever met" says his former foster mom. He is the ideal work from home buddy, curling up on your lap for hours while you work. He is also content to follow his person around all day. When you come home, he will greet you with joyful shrieks and high jump hugs! When meeting other humans, Dipper prefers introductions to be made slowly and thoughtfully. 

Dipper thrives on routines. He prefers to walk in quieter areas and willingly shares the path with other canine residents. In fact, he got to hang out with a canine buddy in his foster home and learned to share toys and treats! This sweet boy has a lot of love and affection to give. Are you ready to receive Dipper into your life?

Meet Dipper

Join us for our Spring Adopt-A-Thon from May 3rd-11th at our Lincoln Park Adoption Center (1997 N. Clybourn Ave)! We will be extending our hours and adding appointments to help many homeless pets find their families this spring. All animals with the "Spring AAT" banner will be at our adoption center ready to meet you! Please note that the adoption fee still applies.

If you are interested in adopting this pet, there are a few steps you must complete before scheduling an appointment at our Lincoln Park Adoption Center:

  1. Please start by taking our ComPETibility Quiz to make sure they are a good fit for your home.
  2. After completing your ComPETibility Quiz, you will be emailed a link to complete your Adoption Application.
  3. Finally, schedule an appointment at our Lincoln Park Adoption Center! During your appointment, you will be able to meet all currently-adoptable animals at our Lincoln Park Adoption Center.

Why Adopt?

Adoption is one of the best ways to save a life. Only a few thousand more adoptions each year in Chicago, a city of millions of people, and we will be a No Kill community! You can make a real difference.

At PAWS Chicago, we keep working to grow our operations to save more homeless pets. It's how we've gone from saving a few dozen to 5,000 pets a year. But it is our adopters who make the real magic happen by bringing these loving pets home. Adopt a pet and spread the word!

First Time Fostering? Learn More

There are many animals that need us today. Each foster family allow us to save more homeless pets by opening their home to a pet or litter in need of love and care for a few weeks. When we are able to send a pet or litter to foster, it frees up space in our Medical Center to bring in more pets in need.

Last year, our foster families took in 1,921 pets. Some needed a peaceful place to recover from illness or injury. Puppies and kittens just needed a bit of time in a home environment with good socialization so they could grow big enough to have their spay/neuter surgery before adoption. Other pets needed a calm and relaxing break from the stress of shelter life.
