While driving to the Krystal Rivera Memorial, we saw this poor girl running along the boulevard. Thankfully we were able to stop & collar her with the help of neighbors (and hot dogs). We will monitor her progress at @ChicagoACC & hopeful connect her back to her rightful owners.

Over 30 dogs are leaving for 2 night sleepovers as we begin maintenance on our next pavilion tomorrow.
This creates critical space and gives dogs a break outside the shelter.
If you can hold off on owner surrenders, it helps more than you know.
Thank you, Chicago. πΎ

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Mamadou Diakhate, a dedicated public servant, leader, and lifelong advocate for animals and the communities he served. ποΈ
He was respected for his knowledge, kindness, integrity, and mentorship. Mamadou led with humility and purpose and will be remembered fondly by all who had the privilege to work with him.
