History of PAWS Chicago

When PAWS Chicago was founded in 1997, more than 800 homeless cats and dogs were being killed in Chicago every week, totaling a staggering 42,561 deaths that year alone.
And no one knew.
PAWS Chicago was founded to end the unnecessary killing of homeless pets by informing and engaging the public and the media to help bring about change.
This video takes viewers through the emotional journey of the founding of PAWS Chicago and its vision for creating No Kill communities nationwide.
