The Anti-Cruelty Society need your help to support the animal care and behavioral specialists, veterinarians and technicians whose essential work requires them to continue to provide direct care to the animals in our shelter during this crisis. Help us move from the park to the heart with the launch of Bark From The Heart, a digital fundraising campaign.

The year our team has set an ambitious fundraising goal before Bark in the Park. The money we raise will be used to provide critical care for thousands of animals, and help them find good homes. In 2019 The Anti-Cruelty Society helped over 5,700 animals find homes. They also reached over 21,000 people through their outreach programs; helped 1,770 abused or neglected animals through their field outreach service; and spayed or neutered nearly 10,000 animals.

The Anti-Cruelty Society has been building a more humane Chicago for people and pets since their founding 1899. Since then, the Society has grown into Chicago's oldest and largest open admission animal welfare organization, and their programs and services improve the lives of thousands of animals and Chicagoans every year. The Anti-Cruelty Society’s mission is to build a community of caring by helping pets and educating people.

However, the care that The Anti-Cruelty Society provides to animals in need is only possible through the friendship of the community. I hope that you will support me and support Bark From The Heart. Your generosity will ensure that thousands of abandoned and neglected animals will find hope, comfort, and healing this year.
