Giving Day Has Officially Launched — Double Your Lifesaving Impact!

Jun 10, 2025

From now through PAWS Chicago Giving Day, June 26, animal lovers across Chicago and beyond are uniting to build a No Kill Chicago. It’s a time to celebrate how far we’ve come—and commit ourselves to the work that still lies ahead to build a No Kill Chicago.

Pets like Bosco are counting on us. 

This sweet two-year-old feline was found hungry and alone, his coat matted with debris, rooting through a dumpster on Chicago’s north side. The young man who found Bosco brought him to PAWS, knowing he’d be safe, loved and cared for.   
   
Thanks to supporters like you, PAWS was able to save Bosco. He got the medical care he needed, including a full exam, neuter surgery, vetting, and lots of love. And after just a few days at our Lincoln Park Adoption Center, an adopter fell for him on sight. Bosco jumped into her arms and, to our knowledge, she hasn’t put him down since. ❤️  

And there’s more good news: Thanks to our generous friends at My Virtuous Quest, every donation made now through June 26 will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $35,000!  

Bosco’s story is one of thousands we could share with you today. And your early Giving Day gift now will help write the next happy ending.  

Please don’t wait—your support will immediately help pets in need, providing lifesaving medical care, spay/neuter surgeries, behavioral support, and a second chance at life.
