Boop, Chai, and Duchess are just three of over a dozen dogs that have been waiting over 100 days for their forever families. Only you can help these dogs walk out of the shelter for the last time...

The feeling of saving the life of a shelter dog or cat is amazing! To make it even sweeter, we're waiving adoption fees this Sunday, July 25 at our Sunday Funday adoption event at the shelter - 2741 S. Western from 12:30pm - 6pm. No appointments are necessary, but this event will be limited to the first 100 families.

If you can't make it to the event, you can make an appointment for another time. But please do so ASAP. The shelter is full and we need your help to save Chicago's pets! Email [email protected] with your name, phone number, reference the dog’s name and submit an adoption application: https://bit.ly/cacc_app.

We had lots of happy customers at our Free #TagTuesday event. ID tags help pets get back home faster and are a great compliment to microchips. Thanks to everyone who came out to keep their pets safe and a shout out to Friends of Chicago Animal Care and Control for purchasing the tags and engraving machines! #careiswhatwedo

After Pandemic Adoption Boom, People Are Ditching Their Backyard Chickens. Local Rescue Groups Are Trying To Save Them

We are so grateful for our friends at Chicago Roo Crew and Chicago Chicken Rescue for all of their support with our chickens and other birds. Read more about their important work here and if you are inspired to adopt one of our chickens, please contact us at [email protected]. Thanks!

The Chicago Roo Crew is seeing more people than usual getting rid of their birds — a difficulty on top of trying to pay off vet bills for the birds they already care for.

TGIF! We've expanded our In Kennel Enrichment Program to two daily shifts! Check out how quiet the kennels get as more dogs get their tasty kongs lovingly stuffed with canned food by our volunteers. This evening, Nat and Hector did enrichment in Pavilions A & B. It's so great to see how in one hour you can make a positive impact on over 60 dogs! We're doing our best to keep everyone healthy and happy, but there is no substitute for a home. Please #adopt a #chicagodog from us! #enrichmentfordogs #adoptdontshop #adoptashelterpet

FINALLY - A HOME TO ROOST!
Some very special buddies found homes today! Sprocket, Clark, and Sir Richard - all here since May - are finally going to a wonderful home downstate where they'll be meeting 50 new lady friends any minute now! We are so grateful to our partners Chicago Roo Crew for their help and support, as always. Julia came by this afternoon to trim nails and beaks and provide go-home treatments and guidance for these guys and their new people. We have seen many roos come in over the last few years, and we are grateful to the kind people who choose to adopt them and give them the homes they deserve! #Adoptaroo #NotJustCatsandDogs #CareIsWhatWeDo

ADOPT ME FOR FREE!
My name is Samson and I'm just a puppy who was abandoned in an alley in May. When I got to the shelter everyone said I was skinny and sweet and a good boy! I've been learning a lot here, but what I want more than anything is to grow up in a home with my very own family who can keep teaching me things and to snuggle, play and have fun. The nice shelter people keep saying that they can't believe I'm still here, so to make it even easier to adopt me they say they "waived the fee" thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation! I'm not sure what that means, but if you do, I hope I'll see you soon! Wanna see my videos? https://bit.ly/Samson_Chi_ACC
Fill out an app to adopt me: https://bit.ly/cacc_app
Send it to [email protected] and let's make a date!

By participating on this page, you are agreeing to the terms outlined in our Code of Conduct.
**PLEASE READ THE CODE OF CONDUCT**
https://www.facebook.com/notes/cacc-cat-transfer-team/code-of-conduct/781132521930579 . . . .

DO US A FAVOR - DON'T LOOK AWAY TODAY. SEE US, SHARE US, SAVE US.
All of the cats in this album are in need of a foster or adopter to save their lives. We need more exposure, we need more people in Chicago to pay attention. Please help us reach more people, let them know that Chicago's animals need their help.

Help us make a difference. DO SOMETHING - share, educate, spay/neuter, volunteer, donate, foster, ADOPT.

All of these cats are urgent simply by being at Chicago Animal Care & Control (CACC). Any animals identified as BITERS need out within 48 hours after being released. Any animals marked URGENT should be moved to the top of the album indicating these animal need out first.

Thank you for all of your efforts to rescue these cats. Those who have been rescued are moved the morning after they are rescued to the YEAR/MONTH Rescued album.

FIRM HOLDS REQUESTED/CONFIRMED Rescues may email CACC directly to request a hold. There is a 3 day "Rescue Interest" hold and a 3 day firm hold. Thought there are 3 days to pick them up, every day a cat stays here they are vulnerable to illness etc. All URGENT or BITER cats need to be picked up with in 24 hours. With a rescue interest hold, the cat will not be considered for euthanasia unless it becomes very ill, and any rescue can take it, not just the one that placed the hold. A FIRM HOLD CONFIRMED means a rescue is committed to that cat, no other rescue can take it, and it won't be euthanized. The transfer team will move those cats to the CONFIRMED HOLDS album.

HOMEWARD BOUND-APPROVED RESCUES REQUESTING FIRM HOLDS: Please send hold requests to [email protected] and "cc" the transfer team at [email protected]. The subject line of your hold request email should be formatted as follows: "Hold request for cat [Name] ID [A2###xx]". Please state when you will pick up the cat(s) and the name of the transporter. You will receive a confirmation email from CACC staff.
The CACC email account will be checked at least twice a day every day 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.

CACC Hours for Rescue are:
9am - 11am transfer ONLY
11am - 6pm look around and transfer
6pm - 7pm transfer ONLY
All paperwork MUST be completed by 7pm.

With prior arrangement with CACC, cats with firm holds can be picked up earlier or later outside of transfer hours, but you will only be allowed to take the cat(s) you have on hold. You will NOT be able to view all of the cats in the pavilions.
