PAWS Chicago – Run For Their Lives September 26, 2010 at 9:00am
This is an awesome event which raises a lot of money and awarness for PAWS Chicago which I am a big supporter of 
About the Event
Support PAWS Chicago’s mission to build a No Kill city by running or walking for homeless animals. Bring the whole family to participate in the child and pet-friendly walk, or compete against the clock in the 8K Run.
This annual event is extremely important to raising funds for PAWS Chicago’s life-saving programs.
PAWS Chicago (Pets Are Worth Saving) is the city’s largest No Kill humane organization. Through a solution based approach to animal welfare, PAWS Chicago has placed Chicago on track to become a No Kill city where pets are no longer destroyed because they are homeless. Since PAWS Chicago’s founding in 1997, the number of homeless pets euthanized per year has dropped from 42,561 to 19,288 – more than a 50 percent decrease!
Collect pledges and win prizes! Every dollar you raise goes directly to the animals.

This game – Fur-Ever Home is just the cleverist idea! It’s a great way to teach kids and even adults about pet adoption. $5 of every purchase ($34.99 + shipping) goes to an animal rescue group – I was super excited to see PAWS Chicago listed as a shelter to which they’ll donate the $5!

PAWS Chicago is looking for foster homes for these adorable dogs and cats. Most of these guys adn gals would do best in homes without other pets. If you’re in need of a furry friend that is just a short term commitment, this is for you! If you can’t foster now, considering signing up to be notified when future foster homes are needed
