Chicago Animal Care and Control will continue normal field and emergency response operations throughout Memorial Day. However, due to reduced staffing and increased holiday related activity, owner surrender intake will be limited and handled on a case by case basis on Monday, May 25. We will continue to accept stray animals found within the City of Chicago.
If you are safely able to wait until after the holiday before surrendering your pet, we greatly appreciate your patience and understanding.
As a reminder for the holiday:
🐾 Keep pets secured during gatherings and travel
🐾 Ensure collars and microchips are current
🐾 Never leave pets unattended in vehicles
Stay safe and enjoy the holiday, Chicago!

This handsome 4 year old boy was surrendered to CACC on April 19 due to a permanent change in household. Major continues to show everyone what a good dog he truly is.
He’s been tested with other dogs, has participated in playgroups, and was even lucky enough to go on one of our shelter sleepovers a few weeks ago. 💤
Major loves to run, loves to play fetch, and loves being with people. He’s the kind of dog that should be spending his days stretched out on a couch, playing with toys, or following his person around the house… not waiting in a shelter kennel over a month later.
He’s vetted, ready to go, and if his perfect match walks through our doors today, Major could leave today too. 💙
If you’ve been thinking about adopting, come meet Major. And if you can’t adopt right now, please share his story and help us find the forever family this very good boy deserves.
📍2741 S Western Ave, Chicago
Adoption hours are 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily. If you’re ready to adopt that day, please arrive by 5:30 p.m.
If you live in the City of Chicago, there’s a $5 dog license fee that cannot be waived but can be paid at the shelter.

Some are still waiting to be rescued.
Still waiting for someone to choose them in an overcrowded shelter.
Perfectly good dogs waiting & overlooked for convenience, trends, or breeders.
Still waiting for a couch, a routine, a person.
Waiting for people to CHOOSE RESCUE not someday, but NOW.
If we truly love dogs, rescue has to become a choice we actively make.
A choice to see value in the scared ones, the older ones, the “imperfect” ones, the ones society too easily gives up on.
The dogs still in shelters are not less worthy because no one has picked them yet.
They are just as deserving of celebration, love, & hope today 💕

Barlette embodies that completely.
We don’t know what happened to cause her scars & we don’t actually want to know. It hurts too much just to imagine.
What we DO know is that whatever happened to her didn’t change her gentle soul.
Barlette is sensitive & sweet. She loves to lean in for pets. She knows sit and paw & is patient waiting for treats. She walks easy on leash. It’s almost as if she’s seen enough to know how to appreciate the simple things.
She teaches us of the power of resilience. The beauty through the scars. The healing power of love.
Barlette reminds us of a girl we really love & are lucky enough to watch thrive in her forever home.
We hope to get the gift of watching Barlette thrive outside our walls too one day very soon.

From May 1–17, during BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters event, 166 adoptions took place at CACC.
🐶 62 dogs
🐱 104 cats
And on Adopt-MAY-nia alone…
✨ 12 dogs
✨ 29 cats
found homes in just one day.
Some animals left that very night. Others in the days that followed. And today, dogs like Butterfinger and Jezebel are the last two dogs heading home today. ❤️
This doesn’t happen without people.
To our volunteers who worked nonstop to make matches happen, thank you.
To everyone who shared, supported, and showed up, thank you.
And to every adopter who chose to find their family here… congratulations. ❤
A reminder:
Adoption fees are waived for pets who have been here 14 days or longer. That does not mean standards are lowered. Every adoption still follows the same process to ensure the best match.
And for bonded pairs of cats here under 14 days, you only pay one adoption fee because families belong together.
We’re proud of what was accomplished. And we’re still here, still matching, every day.
📍 2741 S Western Ave
Adoption hours are 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily. If you're ready to adopt that day, please arrive by 5:30 p.m.
⚠️ If you live in the City of Chicago, there is a $5 dog license fee that cannot be waived but must be paid at the time of adoption.

She is among the 5 dogs who have been in
the shelter the longest which to put it trankly means she has an extremely high chance of being euthanized. No fluff or cute editing. This is the reality. It is heartbreaking. Faye just simply needs a chance and she can only get the chance with more eyes on her. This is where we can make a difference. We can literally save a life by pressing a few buttons on social media. How cool is that? So please, like save & share because you don’t know who is out there waiting to take this baby HOME🤍

Meet 4 yr old General Tso, one of our favorite shelter babes who has now been waiting since March 12 for someone to finally realize just how special he is. 💙
This guy is a total love machine. He’s always sneaking in little kisses to remind you he adores you, and when it comes to toys? Pure joy. It’s honestly like he never discovered toys before coming to the shelter, and now he lives for them. General Tso will do zoomies with a toy in his mouth forever if you let him. 😂
Treats, toys, and people are his absolute favorite things. He sits nicely for treats, has had great leash tests with other dogs, and can happily self entertain when he’s playing. He’s goofy, handsome, affectionate, and full of personality.
He’s been here over 14 days, which means his adoption fee is waived. He’s already vetted too, so if his perfect match walks in today, he could be home tonight. 🏡
Come meet your new Thunder Buddy. ⚡🐶
