Loved our experience with Sharon. Volunteers are super friendly and knowledgeable. We are very happy with our little rambunctious puppy. I love that they had dog training services and that you get the deposit back after completion. Thank you PAWS, Zeus has brought so much happiness into our lives.

Pretty disappointed. We filled out and application and even had an interview with a woman the day of our appointment. They knew we had 6-year-old as it was in application and we told them on the phone. We drove 45 min to Paws with the hope to adopt a cat on my sons birthday. When we arrived five volunteers all looked at us with blank expressions. One finally said we don’t have any cats for 6-year-olds. They said they were all level two (as if we were supposed to know what that meant). We didn’t even get to look at any cats. We wish we would have been told this when we had the interview the same morning. They said that you really can’t trust the cats on the website as they’re adopted quickly. I get it but what is the purpose of making an appointment if you don’t have any cats that fit one’s household. It was a long drive for nothing and we have a pretty sad son at the moment.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Cindy B B | Sep 12, 2017
Steve Robert | Sep 12, 2017

I was a volunteer here a few years ago. At the time they were not allowed to take dogs or cats directly from people who wanted to give them up. They had to direct people to animal care and control. This may have changed.

Can you take the dog out for a walk in the area

Ela Lena Maggio | Sep 11, 2020
Rabb Young | Sep 11, 2020

They never offered when I went to pick up my pup. They brought us into a room and then had the dog greet us, etc.... I would probably say they would let you, but only do it if you really wanna bring them home who knows the last time they probably really been outside the dog may get to excited and would suck to have to go back inside knowing your not going home.

You need to go to the Lurie Spray/Neuter Center which is in Little Village. This location cannot do surgeries.

Any help or advice to stop neutered 4 yr old male cat from spotting/spraying. The situation is grave

Jack Floyd | Sep 12, 2018
Judy Johnsen | Sep 12, 2018

Have a vet check him out. Also clean wih vinegar and water or natures miracle spray where he sprayed, and there s stuff you can buy to discourage spraying, like feliway, etc.

How much are the fees does it depend on what breed the dog is and what is the process

Cherissa Thurman | Sep 12, 2018
Renee Flores | Sep 12, 2018

The fees depend on the age. But there are some exceptions. If there's a "featured" cat or dog, the fees may be waived or there are many extras (e.g. free food for a year). Keep in mind, the fees include all shots, microchipping, spaying/neutering, & whatever medical care they've needed.

Do you have small puppies

maggie Frazier | Sep 12, 2017
Renee Flores | Sep 12, 2017

There are usually puppies of various ages & sizes regularly. Stop in & see what's available.

Hello! How much is the fee,to adopt a dog rescue from the huracan Harvey?

Cely muniz | Sep 12, 2017
Renee Flores | Sep 12, 2017

My best guess is that the fees will be the same - depending on the age of the dog.

How long does it take for you to respond after filling the foster web application?

Manya Singh | Aug 28, 2022
Christopher Tabone | Aug 28, 2022

Sorry, I really don’t know. The last 2 cats I got from paws where foster fails. They are a non-for profit song not always 100% on top of everything. if you know what pet you want to adopt you could certainly call or just go there. Once you are there and you tell them that you’ve already filled out an application process will probably go pretty quick.

Hi, I made an appointment for Saturday to meet adoptable dogs. Should I bring my two current dogs with me to this appointment?

MIchael Conroy | Jul 13, 2022
Matthew Zachar | Jul 13, 2022

It's not necessary to bring pets but optional. They will do cat and dog tests themselves but that's more to tell you about the new dog than how the current ones will react. They do ask that all humans living in the house should be there.

rrr | Feb 13, 2022
Jose Herrera | Feb 13, 2022

I'm not 100% sure they don't. If you check their website it should show the animals they have for adoption. I've been here recently and only saw cats and dogs. As for what shelter ,I'm not sure what your expecting out of a hamster so I can't recommend any.

Do they have chinchillas?

Cristina Mejia | Jan 14, 2022
Bruce D | Jan 14, 2022

No, they currently only have dogs and cats.

Im a disabled veteran and decided it's time to share the love I have and adopt a shelter dog, I didn't think a service dog would suit me and would like to adopt a dog, what would it take for me to adopt?

michael cooper | Jan 14, 2022
Carmelita Smith | Jan 14, 2022

Very expensive at Paws! 7months and under $450.00 part of that is mandatory $100 for training. But to register for training you have to pay another $175. They will try to get you to go across street to expensive Petco to spend more money. They will tell you a free visit at VCA but that cost too.

Does paw's still pick up cat's for neutering

Brenda Walker | Sep 11, 2021
Donna Genovese | Sep 11, 2021

All cats are neutered that are up for adoption. They are affiliated with a very prestigious veterinary college give him a call but I do not believe that they neuter a cat instead of taking it to a vet. They make sure they're in perfect condition and then they put them up for adoption. Check out their page tells you everything you need to know and there's emails people get back to you right away you leave your phone number their first class.

How do animal hospitals reach someone for records on a pet adopted from Paws? Their phone system seems to only be for pets that are currently being fostered, does not route to a car, etc.

Companion River North | Sep 11, 2021

Is your location available to go see adoptable animals?

Yarita Alfaro | Sep 11, 2021
Charline Holmes | Sep 11, 2021

They only have viewings by appointment. You have to fill out three documents: a profile, a compatible document and you view the available animals online and fill out an adoption document. If you are selected to adopt one or more of the animals on your list, they will call you to set up an appointment. If you do not get a call within two weeks, chances are the animals you selected were taken. You'd then just fill out just another adoption application for your new selection(s).

Do they spay rabbits ?

Sandra Budgiedino | Sep 11, 2021
Heidi Olson | Sep 11, 2021

Likely not, but Animal House of Chicago probably does. I've gone there for 17 years. They treat exotic animals. My hedgehog and dwarf hamsters all had succesful surgeries there.

Can you go inside the shelter right now? Or is it online only?

J.A.R Productions | Sep 11, 2020
Dawn Marcotte | Sep 11, 2020

It's online only. Their virtual adoption program has you complete all the paperwork and indicate your top 3 animals. If you're approved for one of them, you go in to meet the animal for 15-30 min and decide if it's likely a good match before finalizing the adoption. If the animal isn't, they'll try to find you one that is. We adopted a kitten this way three weeks ago and he's a great match. It helps that their process has always been foster-to-adopt, where things aren't completely finalized until two weeks after the pet goes home with you. If it doesn't work out, they'll take the animal back and you start over if you want.

How long does it usually take for the adoption center to get back to you on email?

Francisco S. | Sep 12, 2019
Niccolo Fazio | Sep 12, 2019

Not typically, however if you have any other animals in the home you must bring them to PAWS to see if they get along. Same goes if you have other family members who will be living with the animal. PAWS wants to make sure that any adopted pet can have a stress free transition and welcoming home from the day of adoption!

How much can the adoption fee be for a small young puppy?

Francisco S. | Sep 12, 2019
McGhee Orme-Johnson | Sep 12, 2019

$400 for puppies six months and under, $300 for dogs seven months and older. But that includes a $100 obedience training fee that is refundable once you complete training with your dog within four months.

Could someone please tell me the adoption fee for a type of small dog?

Why do you have to pay for them

Dimp Moore | Sep 12, 2019
Michael Schwager | Sep 12, 2019

You don't pay for the animals. You pay to help cover the cost of the medical care. But I will say that any organization like that is not run on good feelings. How do they pay for the lights, the heat? Finally, (again, my personal opinion) if you can't afford the adoption fee there's no way you'll be able to support a pet. They're not cheap.

Michelle Thigpen | Sep 12, 2019
Jennifer Rivera | Sep 12, 2019

Pets adopted here already are up to date on their vaccinations and spayed/ neutered. If you have a cat/ dog that needs these services it provided at Lurie's low cost clinic, or Anti-cruelty Society. It's rare to get them provided free. Lurie's offers free spay to some locations (zip codes). Also, microchipping is offered at Lurie's for a small fee, but this location is far and often inconvenient.

If you rent, bring in your lease that shows that you are allowed to have a cat or dog. Otherwise they have to contact your landlord first. Also, for adopting a cat the fee is $125 which is due prior to taking your pet home. (I am unsure of the rate for dogs).

Rental managers charge a non-refundable deposit and an additional monthy fee. Can anything be done to reduce/eliminate these fees?

Jackie G | Sep 12, 2018
Connor Nagle | Sep 12, 2018

Most likely no. That is why people have to find rentals that specifically say pets are allowed and that they fit under their weight limit. Rental managers understand that people in chicago like to own dogs so its a great money majer for them as well as an assurance policy to the additinal wear the animal puts on the building. You should speak with the rental company. Also see what others say in case someone else is aware of some gov or shelter sponsored financial assistance for the care of an animal.

PAWS is an organization that utilizes pet and animals like recycling human organs. They received millions in donation from unsuspecting donors. The pet are then sold do the highest bidder or people with the highest income. The owner Sara is quite prejudice just say the least she refused to sell me a cat because she did not like the wording of the contract between me and my residential manager. The location of visited was on North Clybourn Street in Chicago. The animals food trays showed food that was not edible to any animal I have no good words to speak of this organization I pray that God will intervene on the animals behalf. They receive animals from other shelters not knowing the correct age of the pets. I feel this organization should be investigated and legal action taken against the owners or finds be inflicted. This is the honest to god truth about this matter!

Goole's "Ask a Question" is a crowd source for answers ... I suggest that you call Paws Chicago directly. Good luck!

I'm hoping PAWS and other shelters will come to the rescue for Chicago Animal Control today. Help urgently needed.

I agree with the responses that you've received. We live in the country and it's funny that our very happy Paws Chicago alum prefers going into the village to walk ... I think he likes the familiarity of curb, gutter, and sidewalks. (smile)

Sit down and have a conversation with your neighbor, ask if you can help, ask if she/he needs assistance with care, and etc. Chicago is a community of all people. One Chicago does not mean Yuppity with money only. Meet your neighbors and be neighborly or leave the city. Your internal fears do not benefit a City like Chicago. End Rant!

They do not take owner surrender cats, you can try Treehouse or St Sophia's Forgotten Felines. You can try calling PAWS anyway.

Can i walk into the facility with my grandbabies and leave with a dog of my choice???

Shante Lynch | Sep 12, 2018
Thomas Radde | Sep 12, 2018

Paws takes adoption very seriously so it is a bit more of a process than that. You begin by taking a short survey and can look around the facilities, but there is a semi-formal interview and if you have another pet in the household, they are required to meet to make sure they get along. They really care that the animal is headed to a good home, so don't expect to go in, point one out and walk home with it in an hour.

Once you have selected a dog or cat, you meet with an adoption counselor to ensure you fully comprehend the responsibilities & commitment. Plus, records are reviewed to ensure that your landlord (if applicable) will officially allow pets. All roommates & family members must also be present.
