Thankful Thursday at CACC 🙏

We want to take a moment to thank everyone who continues to support the animals in our care. Your donations truly make a difference every single day.

🐾 Dog treats remain one of our most needed items.
They’re not just snacks. Treats help our staff and volunteers with socialization, training, enrichment, and building trust with dogs who may be nervous or adjusting to shelter life.

📡 We’re also currently working to replace several of our volunteer shelter radios. These radios help volunteers stay connected across the building & playlots so animals and visitors can always be assisted quickly. We recently identified a more reasonably priced radio option that works with our shelter communication channels, so anyone looking to help in that way can now do so more easily.

Many other supplies are always helpful too, including items like towels, newspaper, litter, and unopened pet food.

If you’d like to help, donations can be sent through our Amazon Wish List or dropped off during our donation hours.

📦 Donation Drop-Off Hours:
Tuesdays, Saturdays & Sundays
10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
2741 S. Western Ave. (rear entrance)

Thank you again to everyone who supports the animals at Chicago Animal Care and Control. The generosity of this community helps us provide better care every day. ❤️
