in 2013, nearly one-third of the dogs impounded by Chicago Animal Care & Control were euthanized, according to a Feb. 4 CACC report. No-kill shelters throughout the city—including Found Chicago, 4100 N. Rockwell St.— dedicate their time and often scant resources to ensure that number falls by rehabilitating and otherwise helping nameless or challenged dogs. Found Chicago, a nonprofit, strives to meet the specific needs of each dog through individualized care and rehabilitation programs utilizing its 49 Kennels and three training/play rooms. Rescues that come to Found Chicago stay an average of three months before finding a permanent home.

Birdie, a former Found Chicago rescue, was pulled from Chicago Animal Care & Control covered in wounds on the day she was scheduled for euthanization.

Pitbull puppy Rosie Ray performs one of her circus tricks with head trainer Sean Alcock by jumping on his back. Rosie Ray belongs to Jeff Jenkins, the senior trainer at Found Chicago. Jenkins and his family adopted her from Chicago Animal Care & Control and made her a performer in the family business, The Midnight Circus. Rosie Ray also joins Jenkins at youth outreach programs. 2

ARIES (March 21—April 20) Sacrificing small animals in the name of your love life may be more effective this week than reactivating your OkCupid account. email Chris Eliopoulos at TAURUS (April 21—May 20) You think it’s warm enough outside to not wear a jacket? You will pay for your insolence, you mortal fool. [email protected] GEMINI (May 21—June 21) Tragic is not a good look for you, Gemini. Consider leaving SUDOKU the leopard-print Snuggie indoors when going out for a smoke. CANCER (June 22—July 22) The early bird gets the worm! And you deserve a worm. A slimy, wriggling, dirt-encrusted worm. LEO (July 23—Aug. 22) Please continue to sermonize about your existential crises as a young pseudo-intellectual. Everyone cares! VIRGO (Aug. 23—Sept. 22) Unfortunately, Virgo, you aren’t the sun that everyone’s world revolves around. Not even your mother loves you that much. LIBRA (Sept. 23—Oct. 23) Alcohol does not taste as sweet as the blood of your en- emies. Put the bottle down and pick up a spork. SCORPIO (Oct. 24—Nov. 22) Crush all feelings that old memories may drudge up for you this week, Scorpio. Feelings are for sad moms and horny teenagers. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23—Dec. 21) Keep singing yourself to sleep at night. Although the darkness may eventually consume you, at least you sound good. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22—Jan. 20) Yes, the NSA is reading the sad sexts you are sending out at 3 a.m. every morning. Yes, they are worried about you.
