DEAR FRIENDS, Twenty-one years ago, we started with an adoption event on Michigan Avenue and Oak Street. We had a glimpse behind the closed doors of Chicago’s high-kill shelters back in 1997 and we IN THIS REPORT needed to do something to bring attention to the more than 40,000 animals who were being killed in our city each year. 5 Chicago’s Path To No Kill Since that day, the Chicago community has come together on 6 The PAWS Chicago No Kill Model behalf of the animals.

Sadly, there is a track record of communities reaching No Kill, only to fall back to killing once again when they pull back on spay/neuter efforts.

To reach and sustain No Kill, we will continue tracking stray and unwanted pet data in Chicago by community and investing in prevention resources where they are needed most. We are excited by the progress in Englewood, where we have had social workers, interns and volunteers go door-to-door with outreach and prevention efforts since 2014. There are no veterinarians and no animal resources accessible to people who live there. Approximately 87% of pets we meet are not spayed and neutered but after meeting us, nearly 90% of them are spayed or neutered at PAWS. We expanded this program to Back of the Yards, and we hope to grow in additional communities in the near future.

Ending the killing of homeless cats and dogs in shelters is a huge victory, but we have a much longer road to end suffering, abuse and neglect for dogs and cats. Stopping the killing is a first step. Ensuring all the pets in our city are cared for and loved is the mark of a truly humane community.

With your support, our life-saving work is making a difference in the lives of individual cats and dogs every day, and we are seeing incredible progress as a community. We are a lighthouse for what is possible. ON THE COVER PAWS Chicago alumnus Lenny On behalf of our voiceless friends–thank you!

NO KILL MODEL S TH VIOR TION HEAL UNTEER L ADOP & BEHA PREVENTION VO ANIMAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

THE PAWS CHICAGO NO KILL MODEL WORKS. IT SAVES LIVES. UNITES COMMUNITIES. CREATES A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.

Everything we do is aimed at generating results.

Why? Because animals are dying every day in our community, across the United States and around the world, and they don’t have to.

It’s a solvable problem. Together, we can stop it. But we’re only as successful as our community is engaged. By showcasing animals in need, raising awareness, and providing ways for people to get involved, we build a strong foundation for life-saving – a No Kill model – supported by pillars of Prevention, Adoption, Animal Health and Behavior, and Volunteers.

The PAWS approach is why we are at the doorstep of ending needless killing in Chicago. It will get us over the threshold. And it’s what will sustain No Kill for generations to come.

Animals don’t have to die, and we’re going to do everything we can to save them.

ANIMAL HEALTH COMMUNITY PREVENTION ADOPTION VOLUNTEERS & BEHAVIOR ENGAGEMENT PREVENTION THE SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO END ANIMAL HOMELESSNESS IS TO PREVENT IT.

These Chihuahuas certainly are special, but their story is far from unique. They were brought to our October PAWS for Life Community Day in Back of the Yards. All four packed in one, small crate. All tiny. All adorable. All loved by their owner. None were spayed or neutered. That’s a problem that we’re working to overcome. We can end the cycle of animal births, homelessness and deaths by addressing the real cause: pet overpopulation. And the most effective prevention method is proactive spay/neuter efforts. By providing free and low-cost spay/neuter services in under-served communities, PAWS effectively limits the scope of the problem. In 1997, Chicago was one of the highest kill cities in the nation. That year, 28,314 cats and dogs entered Chicago Animal Care & Control, the city pound. Of those pets, 26,394 were killed. That’s a euthanasia rate of over 93%. In 2018, the euthanasia rate fell below 15% for the first time in Chicago history. While a single spay/neuter surgery may seem to have a small impact, the long-term benefits are truly multigenerational. More than 60% of the reduction in euthanasia is from fewer animals landing in a shelter. That is the beauty of our spay/neuter approach. When fewer unwanted animals are born, the number of animals that are abused, neglected, abandoned, and sometimes even killed dramatically decreases as well. The success of our prevention efforts in the past 21 years reminds us that today’s hard work pays tomorrow’s dividends.

Fleas, dental disease, a ruptured tendon, and multiple mammary masses made each day painful for her. On her own, Loretta was lucky to have survived. At PAWS, our mission was to ensure she thrived. We removed the fleas, rotten teeth and masses and Small, scared and suffering gave her the loving care she always deserved. With the weight of her troubles lifted, Loretta revealed herself to be a bubbly and vivacious character full of vim and vigor. Loretta was adopted by a loving family, and each day is a list of joyful moments much longer than the one of her troubles.

ANIMAL HEALTH & BEHAVIOR

SMALL MIRACLES Taking care of kittens who require bottle feeding is no small feat. In their incredibly fragile state, they are the most vulnerable of all homeless pets entering shelters. Intensive care, routine feedings, constant warmth, and persistent cleaning is crucial for their well-being. Fosters who take on this task are truly remarkable. Like all animals, we believe bottle babies deserve the right to thrive! KITTEN FACTS • Kittens need to be fed every two to four hours. Never give a kitten cow’s milk (or anything other than specified formula). • Keeping kittens clean is extremely important. Stroke a kitten with a warm, damp cloth, using short strokes to mimic a mother’s tongue. • Overfeeding kittens is dangerous. Kittens generally will not regulate their own food intake and they will not stop eating. • A kitten should gain 7 to 10 percent of it’s birth weight each day. That is about 10 to 15 grams a day. • A kitten must weigh at least two pounds and be eight-weeks- old before he can be spayed/neutered and ready for adoption.

MEDICAL CENTER EXPANSION

PAWS Chicago’s Medical Center is at the heart of everything we do for the animals and is critical to our ability to rescue the most vulnerable pets. This facility is where we care for and heal thousands of cats and dogs each year as they prepare for adoption. It is also where we perform more than 16,000 low and no cost spay and neuter surgeries annually, the most critical path to building a No Kill Chicago.

In order to take in all the animals that need our help, we are expanding the facility. When renovations are complete, we will have tripled the number of medical-grade quarantine and isolation rooms needed to rescue more pets with communicable diseases. We will have more critical care rooms, a modern intake center, and a new, state-of-the-art surgery suite to increase special operations.

PAWS is committed to the life of every pet. This expansion means more sick and injured dogs and cats in our community have a better chance of surviving, and living healthy lives with families who love them.
