A few generous supporters have come together to offer a powerful $115,000 You Give, They Live Match. This means that right now—when it matters most—your gift will go even further to rescue, heal, and home the animals who are still waiting.
This remarkable match comes at a crucial moment, as we reflect on what your kindness made possible in 2025 and prepare to carry that lifesaving momentum into the new year.
Found loving homes for nearly 5,000 dogs and cats, each beginning a new life filled with safety and love.
Performed more than 21,000 free and low-cost spay/neuter surgeries, preventing countless unwanted litters—and the euthanasia that accompanies pet overpopulation.
Provided care and support to over 26,000 homeless and at-risk pets, many arriving sick, frightened, or out of time.
Stood as the largest transfer partner to Chicago Animal Care & Control, relieving overcrowding at the city shelter and ensuring more pets were given a second chance.
And now, as we look toward 2026, the need is only growing. Intake at city shelters remains high. More families are struggling to care for their pets. More animals are arriving injured, ill, or abandoned.
But with your help, PAWS is ready to do even more.
Your year-end gift today ensures we can start 2026 equipped to meet these urgent calls for help—and to build a future where no dog or cat is forgotten.
Your generosity this week will shape the entire year ahead.
