You Can Do Something!

Did you know CACC does not accept monetary donations?  They accept items from a wish list but organizations like 'Rescue Chicago' can take your monetary donations and do even more!

Rescue Chicago is a 501(c)3 independent charitable organization unifying Chicago’s shelter & rescue community.

From supplying hundreds of leashes and collars to dogs adopted from CACC, helping rescue partners network to find fosters and adopters, donating funds for each heartworm positive dog rescues pull, purchasing treats or toys to help improve the shelter experience, to even fostering themselves. Making a donation to this organization does so much to help improve the lives of CACC animals, IN AND OUT of the shelter.

Safe Humane Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with legal name Safe Humane®. We work with allies and collaborators focusing on people as well as animals. These organizations and individuals recognize the connections between animal abuse and interpersonal violence as well as the benefits of the human-animal bond. We believe that providing a variety of innovative and collaborative programs focused on humane treatment of people and animals alike reduces all forms of violence and creates safer neighborhoods.  Safe Humane is committed to breaking the cycle of violence through trauma-informed care and programs that bring together abused or neglected shelter dogs – in particular, our Court Case Dogs™ – with youth and adults impacted by violence, challenged by poverty or extreme trauma in order to help and support each other. Our programs focus on education, advocacy and second chances for people, animals, and our community.  "Safe Humane" is a registered trademark of Safe Humane, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation doing business as Safe Humane Chicago.
