In an effort to save more needy cats and dogs in Chicagoland and beyond, we will be creating an emergency medical fund to ensure cats and dogs brought to our shelter will be able to receive life-saving veterinary care without hesitation. The fund, called the Mowgli Fund and named for an abandoned cat with medical issues who was saved by WSHS’ efforts, will be started with an endowment from a longtime donor with further funding collected from individual donors and grants throughout the year. An initial outreach appeal for the fund will begin on #GivingTuesday, November 28th, 2017.

One thing that’s clear about the Monday mid-day kennel crew is that they enjoy having food and parties on their shift almost as much as they enjoy helping the dogs find their forever homes.
