THE EXPANDED AND RECENTLY RENOVATED 30,000 SQUARE FOOT PAWS CHICAGO NAN & WAYNE KOCOUREK MEDICAL CENTER IS THE MOST STATE-OF-THE-ART HOSPITAL FOR HOMELESS ANIMALS IN THE NATION, AND IT'S THE FIRST STOP FOR EVERY ONE OF PAWS CHICAGO'S 4,561 ADOPTED PETS. WITH SPECIAL QUARANTINE AND ISOLATION WARDS TO PREVENT DISEASE TRANSMISSION, A TEAM OF EXPERT MEDICAL AND BEHAVIOR PROFESSIONALS ENSURES EVERY PET RECEIVES THE INDIVIDUAL CARE THEY NEED, RESULTING IN AN INDUSTRY-LEADING 98.62% SAVE RATE. FROM UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS TO DEADLY DISEASES LIKE CANINE PARVOVIRUS AND FELINE PANLEUKOPENIA, FROM INJURIES TO SKIN INFECTIONS, THE PAWS CHICAGO MEDICAL TEAM SEES AND HEALS IT ALL. VETERINARY SURGEONS NOT ONLY SPAY AND NEUTER EVERY PET, BUT ALSO PERFORMED 716 ADVANCED SURGERIES ADDRESSING ORTHOPEDIC CONDITIONS SUCH AS TORN LIGAMENTS, EYE INJURIES, HERNIA REPAIRS, MASS REMOVALS, EXTENSIVE DENTAL DISEASE REQUIRING EXTRACTIONS, AND MANY OTHER MEDICAL NEEDS. THE ONLY SURGERIES THE PAWS CHICAGO INTERNAL VETERINARY TEAM OUTSOURCES ARE CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERIES. THE MEDICAL CENTER AND ITS WORLD-CLASS VETERINARY TEAM TREAT THE MOST SERIOUS CASES ON SITE. A ROBUST FOSTER NETWORK CARES FOR PETS WHEN THEY ARE STABLE AND READY TO RECOVER IN A HOME ENVIRONMENT WITH 1,921 CATS AND DOGS SPENDING TIME IN FOSTER CARE IN 2023.AS PART OF THE FOSTER PROGRAM, HELP ME HEAL (HMH) IS A FOSTER-TO-ADOPT PROGRAM THAT ENABLES ANIMALS WITH LONG-TERM MEDICAL RECOVERIES TO GO INTO FOSTER CARE WITH THEIR ADOPTIVE FAMILIES INSTEAD OF STAYING IN THE SHELTER FOR MONTHS. FOR EXAMPLE, A DOG UNDERGOING THREE-MONTH TREATMENT FOR HEARTWORM WILL BE CARED FOR IN ITS FUTURE ADOPTIVE HOME WHILE IT IS RECEIVING MEDICAL TREATMENT ADMINISTERED BY PAWS IN AN OUTPATIENT CAPACITY. IN 2023, THERE WERE 199 PETS CARED FOR IN HMH HOMES BEFORE ADOPTION.RECOGNIZING THAT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, SOCIALIZATION AND ENRICHMENT ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT TO A QUALITY LIFE AS PHYSICAL HEALTH, PAWS CHICAGO ALSO HAS FOUR FULL-TIME AND FOUR PART-TIME TRAINERS WHO LEAD AN INNOVATIVE DOG AND CAT TRAINING AND ENRICHMENT PROGRAM FOR PAWS CHICAGO'S HOMELESS ANIMALS. THIS TEAM OF BEHAVIOR PROFESSIONALS AND TRAINED VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE NEGLECTED, UNDER-SOCIALIZED, AND PREVIOUSLY ABUSED HOMELESS DOGS AND CATS WITH ONE-ON-ONE AND GROUP TRAINING AS WELL AS BEHAVIOR ENRICHMENT AND BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION TO HELP THEM BUILD CONFIDENCE AND COMMUNICATION, WHICH LEADS TO SUCCESSFUL LONG-TERM ADOPTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRAINING AND ENRICHMENT PROGRAM PROVIDES CRITICAL PLAY GROUPS AND FIELD TRIPS FOR DOGS. THIS TEAM ALSO PROVIDES ADOPTERS WITH SUPPORT IN TRANSITIONING ANIMALS INTO A PERMANENT HOME ENVIRONMENT WITH COUNSELING AND POST-ADOPTION CONSULTATION.PAWS CHICAGO'S TRAINING CENTER ALSO HAS A TEAM THAT PROVIDES VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON COURSES TO PAWS ADOPTERS AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. FOR THE PUBLIC, PAWS TRAINERS ALSO LED 141 IN-PERSON CLASSES WITH 1,062 DOGS IN 2023. THEY ALSO CONDUCTED 24 GROUP ZOOM TRAINING CLASSES WITH 139 DOGS. 4000027 1544651 PREVENTION & SPAY/NEUTER: PAWS CHICAGO PERFORMED 16,587 SPAY/NEUTERS IN 2023, MAKING IT THE LARGEST LOCAL PROVIDER OF FREE AND LOW-COST, HIGH-VOLUME SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES, AND THE ONLY CLINIC LOCATED IN AND SERVING UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES WHERE THE MAJORITY OF STRAY, FERAL AND UNWANTED PETS ORIGINATE. THROUGH THE PAWS CHICAGO LURIE CLINIC IN LITTLE VILLAGE, LOCATED LESS THAN TWO MILES FROM CHICAGO'S ANIMAL CARE & CONTROL, THE CITY IMPOUNDMENT FACILITY, PAWS OFFERS SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED MOST AND WHERE THEY MAKE THE MOST IMPACT.PREVENTING UNWANTED PETS FROM BEING BORN IS KEY TO BUILDING A NO KILL CHICAGO BECAUSE PETS BREED EXPONENTIALLY. A SINGLE FEMALE CAT AND HER OFFSPRING CAN THEORETICALLY PRODUCE 420,000 KITTENS IN SEVEN YEARS. FOR DOGS, THE NUMBER IS 96,000. SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES ARE THE SOLUTION TO PET OVERPOPULATION, AND AS SUCH, ARE AT THE CORE OF PAWS PREVENTION INITIATIVES.AT THE END OF 2023 PAWS CHICAGO HAS PERFORMED 315,347 FREE AND LOW-COST SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES SINCE THE LURIE CLINIC'S OPENING IN 2000, WHICH HAS BEEN A DRIVING FORCE IN CHICAGO'S REDUCTION IN EUTHANASIA DURING THAT TIME.AS AN ANCILLARY SERVICE TO THE LURIE CLINIC, PAWS CHICAGO HAS OPERATED AN EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM IN 2014 TO EXPAND ACCESS TO SPAY/NEUTER AND PET RESOURCES IN CHICAGO'S MOST UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES. OF THE PETS COMMUNITY OUTREACH MEETS, 95% ARE NOT YET SPAYED OR NEUTERED, BUT ONCE PAWS FOR LIFE WORKS WITH PEOPLE, 83% END UP STERILIZING THEIR PET AT PAWS.SINCE LAUNCHING IN 2014, THE PRIMARY NEIGHBORHOOD OF FOCUS HAS BEEN ENGLEWOOD, WHERE MORE THAN 49% OF THE POPULATION LIVES BELOW THE POVERTY LINE, BUT SERVICES HAVE IN RECENT YEARS EXPANDED TO NEARBY WEST ENGLEWOOD, BACK OF THE YARDS, AND WOODLAWN AS WELL. PAWS PERFORMED 1,405 FREE SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES THROUGH THIS COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM IN 2023.THIS OUTREACH PROGRAM ALSO OPERATES A COMMUNITY MEDICINE PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES 1,614 APPOINTMENTS FOR WELLNESS, PREVENTATIVE AND ACUTE VETERINARY CARE TO PETS WHO WOULD OTHERWISE NEVER SEE A VETERINARIAN.ADDITIONALLY, 54,989 POUNDS OF FOOD WERE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE PAWS CHICAGO PET FOOD PANTRY PROGRAM, WHICH OFFERS FREE PET FOOD AND SUPPLIES TO COMMUNITIES IN NEED.PAWS CHICAGO'S FERAL CAT TRAP-NEUTER-RETURN (TNR) PROGRAM IS ANOTHER CRITICAL ASPECT OF THE PREVENTION PILLAR. BY PROACTIVELY STERILIZING AND MANAGING THE FREE-ROAMING CAT POPULATION, THE SOURCE OF THOUSANDS OF UNWANTED KITTENS BORN EACH YEAR, TNR REDUCES THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS ENTERING THE SHELTER SYSTEM WHILE ALSO SAVING KITTENS AND FINDING THEM ADOPTIVE HOMES. IN 2023 PAWS PERFORMED 2,428 SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES ON FERAL CATS. PAWS ALSO HOSTS AN ANNUAL WORKSHOP TO BUILD OUTDOOR CAT WINTER SHELTERS, WHICH ARE DISTRIBUTED IN THE COMMUNITY. 2288793 991034 ADOPTION: RESCUING HOMELESS PETS AND UNITING THEM WITH THEIR NEW FAMILIES DIRECTLY CONNECTS THE PUBLIC WITH HOMELESS PETS ON THE DEEPEST LEVEL AND PROVIDES A TANGIBLE WAY FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE AN IMPACT FOR ANIMALS. THROUGH PAWS CHICAGO'S ADOPTION CENTERS AND INNOVATIVE ADOPTION EVENTS, PAWS UNITED 4,561 ANIMALS WITH LOVING HOMES IN 2023. BY THE END OF 2023, THE CUMULATIVE NUMBER OF ADOPTIONS SINCE PAWS CHICAGO'S FOUNDING IN 1997 WAS 82,234. USING A PROPRIETARY COMPETIBILITY QUIZ, PAWS USES TECHNOLOGY TO MATCH PETS WITH PROSPECTIVE ADOPTERS BASED ON THEIR LIFESTYLE NEEDS, HELPING TO ENSURE A LONG-TERM FIT AND MATCH EXPECTATIONS.PAWS TRAINERS AND VOLUNTEERS OFFER ON-SITE SUPPORT AND ADVICE, PROVIDE DETAILED PET BACKGROUND AND ASSESSMENT INFORMATION, CONDUCTING RESIDENT PET INTRODUCTIONS AND ENSURING A SMOOTH TRANSITION INTO THE HOME. VOLUNTEERS OFFER DETAILED ADOPTION COUNSELING AND FOLLOW-UP TO ENSURE POST-ADOPTION SUCCESS. SHOWCASING ADOPTABLE PETS IN HIGHLY TRAFFICKED PLACES OUTSIDE OF THE PAWS ADOPTION CENTER EXPANDS THE REACH OF THE MISSION AND INSPIRES ACTION FOR ANIMALS. IN 2023, PAWS HOSTED 24 OFFSITE ADOPTION EVENTS, INCLUDING HIGH-PROFILE ANGELS WITH TAILS ADOPTION EVENTS AROUND THE CHICAGOLAND AREA WHERE LOCAL RETAILERS, PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAMS AND GROCERS WELCOMED HOMELESS PETS IN THEIR LOCATIONS FOR ONSITE ADOPTIONS. 2287622 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS THE FOUNDATION FOR CREATING LASTING CHANGE FOR ANIMALS AND IS THE BASIS UPON WHICH ALL OF PAWS CHICAGO'S PROGRAMS ARE BUILT. PEOPLE CAUSE THE PET OVERPOPULATION PROBLEM AND PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER TO SOLVE IT; ANIMALS ARE THE VOICELESS VICTIMS. THE WAY TO INSPIRE AND CREATE REAL CHANGE FOR ANIMALS IS TO MOBILIZE PEOPLE TO BE THEIR CARETAKERS AND ADVOCATES AND PROVIDE NEEDED SUPPORT IN UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES.WHEN PAWS CHICAGO WAS FOUNDED IN 1997, THE MASS KILLING OF HOMELESS PETS WAS A HIDDEN CRISIS. THE PUBLIC HAD NO IDEA THAT MORE THAN 42,000 HOMELESS CATS AND DOGS WOULD BE EUTHANIZED IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO THAT YEAR. PAWS CHICAGO WAS FOUNDED TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE PLIGHT OF THESE VULNERABLE ANIMALS AND TO MOBILIZE PUBLIC SUPPORT TO DEVELOP HUMANE SOLUTIONS AND BUILD NO KILL COMMUNITIES. SHINING A LIGHT ON PET OVERPOPULATION AND HOMELESSNESS AND THE RESULTANT KILLING HAS MOBILIZED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO GET INVOLVED IN THE CAUSE BY ADOPTING, FOSTERING, VOLUNTEERING, ADVOCATING FOR AND DONATING TO HOMELESS PETS.WITH ITS NO KILL MODEL IN ACTION, PAWS CHICAGO IS LEADING A MOVEMENT THAT RIPPLES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. EVERY YEAR, PAWS CHICAGO WELCOMES SHELTERS, RESCUE GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS NATIONWIDE TO SHADOW ITS OPERATIONS. PAWS CHICAGO ALSO HELPS START-UP ADOPTION/RESCUE GROUPS AND SPAY/NEUTER CLINICS AROUND THE WORLD. IN CHICAGO, PAWS HELPS CHICAGO-AREA RESCUE GROUPS AND SHELTERS BY PROVIDING LOW-COST MEDICAL SERVICES AT THE LURIE SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC AND BY INCREASING EXPOSURE OF THEIR HOMELESS ANIMALS THROUGH ANGELS WITH TAILS ADOPTION EVENTS.BY RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT PET HOMELESSNESS AND ENGAGING PEOPLE IN LIFESAVING EFFORTS, PAWS CHICAGO MAKES LASTING CHANGE FOR ANIMALS. THIS INCLUDES PAWS CHICAGO MAGAZINE, WITH A DISTRIBUTION OF 225,000; THE PAWS CHICAGO WEBSITE, WITH MORE THAN 1.3 MILLION UNIQUE USERS AND 12.8 MILLION PAGEVIEWS IN 2023; AND THE PAWS CHICAGO E-NEWSLETTER, WITH A MONTHLY DISTRIBUTION AVERAGING 160,000 AND AN OPEN-RATE OF MORE THAN 50%. THESE VEHICLES INSPIRE PEOPLE TO TAKE ACTION FOR ANIMALS AND BECOME ADVOCATES FOR HOMELESS PETS.VOLUNTEERS:VOLUNTEERS ARE THE LIFE FORCE BEHIND PAWS CHICAGO'S OPERATIONS AND AN ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT TO BUILDING A NO KILL CHICAGO. IN 2023, 3,176 VOLUNTEERS DEDICATED 106,221 HOURS OF SERVICE, THE EQUIVALENT OF 51 FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES. AND THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE FOSTER FAMILIES WHO TOOK IN AND CARED FOR 1,921 ANIMALS IN NEED IN 2023. IN ADDITION TO THE TIME VOLUNTEERS COMMIT TO PAWS CHICAGO, THEY ARE ALSO AMBASSADORS, REACHING NEW PEOPLE AND ENGAGING NEW COMMUNITIES IN THE CAUSE OF HOMELESS ANIMALS THROUGH THEIR EVERYDAY INTERACTIONS.ANIMAL WELFARE IS INCREDIBLY LABOR-INTENSIVE WORK, AND VOLUNTEERS WORK ALONGSIDE OUR STAFF TO AMPLIFY OUR LIFESAVING. FROM SHEPHERDING THE ADOPTION PROCESS TO ATTENDING TO THE NEEDS OF SICK PETS AT OUR MEDICAL CENTER TO MANNING OUR OFF-SITE ADOPTION AND COMMUNITY EVENTS, OUR VOLUNTEERS SUPPORT THE WORK OF EVERY DEPARTMENT.ONLY THROUGH VOLUNTEERS IS PAWS CHICAGO ABLE TO EXECUTE ALL ELEMENTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE NO KILL MODEL AND ADVANCE ON THE MISSION OF BUILDING NO KILL COMMUNITIES. 2287622 16760190 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 37 0 1 258 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 25 24 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 IL X X X MICHAEL NICHOLAS 7734753323 1933 N MARCEY ST CHICAGO IL 60614 PAULA FASSEAS CHAIR 30.00 X X 0 0 0 PAM CAREY PRESIDENT 10.00 X X 0 0 0 ALEXIS FASSEAS TREASURER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 30.00 X X 73263 0 308 GEORGE KARCAZES SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 JANICE BECK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA BRADFORD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MELISSA CANNING BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL CANNING BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ED CAREY BOARD MEMBER - NEW 1.00 X 0 0 0 BILLY CORGAN BOARD MEMBER - NEW 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRUCE CROWN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISA DENT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 GLENN FELNER BOARD MEMBER - PAST 1.00 X 0 0 0 RAJ FERNANDO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF HALL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE FIELD HARRIS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN HARRIS BOARD MEMBER - NEW 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANTHONY KREMER BOARD MEMBER - NEW 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUZANNE LE MIGNOT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 TINSLEY MORTIMER BOARD MEMBER - PAST 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHLOE MENDEL CORGAN BOARD MEMBER - NEW 1.00 X 0 0 0 MURRAY PERETZ BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MAYARI PRITZKER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 PHIL RASKIN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA SACHS BOARD MEMBER - NEW 1.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY SANTI BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KURT SEIDENSTICKER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT SHERMAN BOARD MEMBER - PAST 1.00 X 0 0 0 KRISTINE WEXLER BOARD MEMBER - PAST 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES DAY ADVISORY BOARD 0.30 X 0 0 0 MARK DUGGAN ADVISORY BOARD 0.30 X 0 0 0 DR BARBARA ROYAL ADVISORY BOARD 0.30 X 0 0 0 MARIA SMITHBURG ADVISORY BOARD 0.30 X 0 0 0 SUSANNA HOMAN CEO/CHIEF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT 40.00 X 268067 0 8109 KRISTINA ROSINIA CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 40.00 X 189150 0 5252 MARLOW A BERNARD CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 40.00 X 204000 0 0 JENNIFER NEVIS VETERINARY SURGEON 40.00 X 170625 0 0 EMILY YACKER MEDICAL DIRECTOR 40.00 X 153577 0 0 GABRIEL NIEVES HEAD OF PEOPLE & CULTURE 40.00 X 152398 0 4242 JAMES ENGEL VICE PRESIDENT, COMMUNICATION 40.00 X 145881 0 5084 1356961 0 22995 15 0 1 0 GRAYSON SEARCH PARTNERS LLC 200 N LASALLE ST STE 1920 CHICAGO IL 60601 RECRUITMENT AND REFINEMENT OF SKILLS 116020 1 4115057 23291384 3538141 27406441 SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC 541990 1544651 1544651 ADOPTION FEES 812900 991034 991034 TRAINING CENTER 812900 198757 198757 2734442 1862932 1862932 3972335 3194368 777967 777967 777967 262965 4115057 711874 -448909 -448909 30800 0 30800 30800 29203 14896 14307 14307 32377980 2734442 0 2237097 552792 503624 17931 31237 9137852 8325095 296391 516366 74010 67427 2401 4182 467859 426246 15175 26438 740375 675815 22168 42392 28165 28165 69379 69379 45926 45926 289172 230268 58904 100652 87162 13490 1180006 902748 62214 215044 684757 558711 83309 42737 536938 269982 4445 262511 134444 77638 22989 33817 943681 908058 3098 32525 278880 235531 24564 18785 PET FOOD AND AUCTION 1210534 807011 403523 MEDICAL SUPPLIES 972681 972681 OUTSIDE SERVICES 880311 772186 108125 PRINTING AND PRODUCTION 514983 324439 190544 921789 615568 25907 280314 19765186 16760190 832187 2172809 9496874 3371129 3311916 765618 4600557 493300 1290158 129644 141740 279282 233312 27235770 8646937 19331462 18588833 69264129 92968791 99760309 124506436 1691960 948925 317182 458422 2009142 1407347 X 73176402 85015841 24574765 38083248 97751167 123099089 99760309 124506436 12612794 12735128 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 15990281 13912387 16173589 20962234 27406441 94444932 15990281 13912387 16173589 20962234 27406441 94444932 13298713 81146219 1712253 2152381 3531858 1801139 1862932 11060563 38230 5554 12955 56739 105562234 6311190 0.76870 0.79090 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 60036086 12849935 15330101 88216122 70313856 5674382 -15952152 60036086 50449464 8567620 11296772 70313856 41810232 8639232 50449464 38076519 3733713 41810232 0.57660 0.42340 0 0 3874619 3874619 18571513 4829936 13741577 183725 140856 42869 2238723 1784526 454197 2367190 1891619 475571 18588833 X 45082078 12735128 12735128 32346950 45926 -14896 31030 32377980 19734156 14896 14896 19719260 45926 45926 19765186 PART X, LINE 2: ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REQUIRE THE ORGANIZATION TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE ORGANIZATION AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY IF THE ORGANIZATION HAS TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY TAX AUTHORITIES.

LIFESAVING RESCUE AND ADOPTION PROGRAMS SAVE MORE THAN 4,500 HOMELESS PETS ANNUALLY, WITH NEARLY 18,000 ADDITIONAL ANIMALS FROM UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES RECEIVING FREE AND LOW-COST SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES, VACCINATIONS, MEDICAL CARE, AND OTHER SUPPORT INCLUDING A PET FOOD PANTRY. PAWS CHICAGO'S PROGRAMS IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS TO BUILD NO KILL COMMUNITIES, END PET OVERPOPULATION, AND TRANSFORM ANIMAL WELFARE BY SETTING STANDARDS THAT ARE USED AS A MODEL BY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. SINCE PAWS CHICAGO'S FOUNDING IN 1997, THE NUMBER OF PETS KILLED EACH YEAR IN CHICAGO HAS BEEN REDUCED BY 90.2%. DESPITE THIS INCREDIBLE PROGRESS OVER TIME, IN JUNE OF 2023, PAWS NOTICED A SURGE IN INTAKE TO CHICAGO ANIMAL CARE & CONTROL BASED ON POST-PANDEMIC EFFECTS: INFLATION MAKING PET FOOD AND VETERINARY CARE UNAFFORDABLE FOR MANY PEOPLE; A DRAMATIC RISE IN BACKYARD BREEDING; AND LESS AVAILABILITY OF VETERINARY CARE FOR PEOPLE AND SHELTERS. PAWS BEGAN DEVELOPING PROGRAMMING TO HELP WITH THIS CRISIS. IN 2023, CACC SAW AN ADDITIONAL 1,203 PETS COME THROUGH ITS DOORS OVER 2022 INTAKE NUMBERS. THIS, COMBINED WITH TRANSFERS TO NON-PAWS CHICAGO RESCUES DROPPING BY 555 PETS COMPARED TO PRIOR YEAR, MEANT AN OVERCROWDING CRISIS AND A RISE IN EUTHANASIA AT THE CITY IMPOUNDMENT FACILITY. IN 2023, PAWS TRANSFERRED IN 698 ADDITIONAL PETS OVER 2022 TRANSFERS. WHILE EUTHANASIA AT CHICAGO ANIMAL CARE & CONTROL INCREASED BY 22.7% (AN ADDITIONAL 551 PETS EUTHANIZED), THAT NUMBER WOULD HAVE BEEN UP 50.6% WITHOUT PAWS IMMEDIATE ACTION. OVERALL PAWS CHICAGO 2023 RESULTS INCLUDE 16,587 FREE AND LOW-COST SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES; 4,561 ADOPTIONS OF HOMELESS ANIMALS INTO NEW, LOVING FAMILIES; A 98.62% SAVE RATE EVEN WHILE RESCUING AN EXTREMELY VULNERABLE POPULATION OF AT RISK HOMELESS PETS; 54,989 POUNDS OF FOOD DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE PET FOOD PANTRY; 1,921 HOMELESS ANIMALS PLACED IN FOSTER CARE; 106,221 HOURS WORKED BY VOLUNTEERS (THE EQUIVALENT OF 51 FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES); AND EARNING CHARITY NAVIGATOR'S HIGHEST 4-STAR RATING CONSECUTIVELY SINCE 2003.
