Thank you for donating to my fundraiser for PAWS Chicago.

I adopted my dog, Becks, from PAWS Chicago in 2010. I was his fifth home in less than two years. Without PAWS Chicago, Becks would not be with me today, and for that, I am grateful to this organization.

That is why my 2019 advisory founded Team Becks last year. They want to establish an annual fundraiser in his name to benefit PAWS Chicago and the important work it does. So we ask for your help in this year's effort.

PAWS Chicago is dedicated to building No Kill communities–starting with a No Kill Chicago–where all healthy and treatable pets are saved. Since PAWS Chicago’s founding in 1997, the number of homeless pets euthanized per year in Chicago has dropped 80 percent. 

Through adoptions, spay/neutering surgeries, volunteering and shelter medicine, PAWS is dedicated to setting new standards in the way that homeless animals are treated. In 2015, PAWS Chicago found homes for 5,987 pets and performed 18,418 spay/neuter surgeries.    

Your support enables PAWS Chicago to provide vital medical care, food and shelter to thousands of homeless pets. PAWS receives no government funding and relies solely on the community for support.

Please help us help PAWS Chicago.

With your help, we can  build a truly humane and compassionate community, one pet at a time.
