That's the
size of the dedicated volunteer force at PAWS Chicago, a shelter that includes a state - of - the - art Adoption Center that finds
homes for nearly 6,000 pets
annually; the Lurie Spay / Neuter Clinic and the GusMobile, which spays and neuters 18,000 pets each year for low - income families; and, on top of all that, PAWS Chicago also has a cutting edge shelter medicine and behavior program.
