If you live in the city of Chicago please consider contacting your aldermen in support of this resolution
Yesterday Chicago Animal Care and Control shared that they took in 99 intakes in one day. Data shows that the city shelter euthanized over 400 animals last month alone**. Our city shelter, funded by the tax dollars of Chicagoans, is currently struggling and failing.
Chicagoans, we have an opportunity for you to help. Please contact your Alderperson and ask them to co-sponsor Resolution 18677, introduced by Alderperson Jessie Fuentes, calling for a Subject Matter Hearing on Chicago Animal Care & Control.
In our 17 years of rescuing animals here this is the first time we've seen such a resolution. Help us collectively take a step in putting eyes and ears on the city shelter!

**Note approximately half the euthanasia numbers were Owner Requested Euthanasia. However, we include them until CACC has public policies on how they determine ORE vs. regular euthanasia
Please share. Thank you!
