Chicago Animal Care & Control receives over 8,000 stray animals a year. It’s common for people to bring healthy animals directly into the shelter before first trying other outlets to get them back home.

In Chicago, winter is a season of bitter cold and numbing wetness. Help your pets remain happy and healthy during the colder months.

Whether you decide to stay put in an emergency or evacuate to a safer location, you will need to make plans in advance for your pets.
