Animal Care and Control is also a proud member of the Chicago Animal Shelter Alliance (CASA), which was formed in 2003 with the belief that the power of many organizations working together can change the future for the thousands of homeless companion animals euthanized in the City of Chicago each year.
Maddie's Fund has been instrumental in getting agencies across the nation to focus on this issue. You can read about the how's and why's of Maddie's Fund at www.maddiesfund.org
