When you adopt from a no-kill shelter, you save two lives. The animal you adopt and the one that replaces them.

We are seeking Saturday afternoon adult volunteers with experience handling larger breed dogs. The weekly shift runs from 11:30 AM – 4 PM. We need assistance with cleaning and feeding to start and eventually handling dogs and showing them to potential adopters. If you’re interested, please fill out the application https://pawstinleypark.org/volunteer-application/ and reference your interest on Saturday afternoon. Thank you!

Happy Spring and Easter!  Join us for our much-anticipated annual Easter Egg Hunt for Dogs, a happy-go-lucky celebration that embodies the spirit of community and the love we share for our furry companions! This year, the Easter Bunny will outdo himself, hiding over 1,200 colorful eggs with delightful treats just waiting to be discovered by your beloved dogs. This festive event not only promises excitement and fun for your four-legged friends, but strengthens our shared commitment to responsible pet ownership. Don’t let your pups miss this event — mark your calendars and come join the fun!

Papaya & Ryder are 2 animals that came to us after being found on the streets after being hit by cars. It’s very important to make sure your cats and dogs are kept inside or always confined with a leash or secure fence outside.

 


Papaya is a young adult cat who was brought in by a good samaritan after being hit by a car. He has a fractured jaw that will require surgery and lots of TLC afterwards. He will be looking for a foster and forever home where he can enjoy a life indoors!

 

Ryder is a 1 year old Beagle who was brought to a local animal control after being hit by a car. We were called to help Ryder as he was clearly in pain. He had a fractured hip and is currently healing from FHO surgery. He would love to find a home with soft beds to rest in!

 

Please consider donating to their care so we can continue to save the helpless animals on the street that need our help. https://pawstinleypark.org/donate/

FURRY FEATURES

Minnie’s Memorial Fund

The Minnie Memorial Fund which was created years ago by Joan and Wayne Hochwarter after their beloved Minnie passed away. This fund is used for our special needs dogs who may require expensive procedures and surgeries in order to give those dogs a chance for a good life. Besides selling dog bandanas at all events and the Tinley Park Farmers Market, each year on Minnie’s anniversary, Joan and Wayne Hochwarter honor their Minnie by donating $5,000 to the memorial fund. May 11th marked Minnie’s 7th anniversary. What a bittersweet day for all who knew Minnie. P.A.W.S. Tinley Park would not be able to do these life saving procedures without the Minnie Fund and we would like to say “thank you” so very much for Joan and Wayne’s dedication to our special needs dogs. When Joan spoke about Minnie’s fund she said, “Seven years and the tears continue to flow but she does live on in “Minnie’s Dogs”.

Partners

As a non-profit organization, we could not keep our shelter open without the help of our generous Partners. Each of these businesses provides valuable services to the Shelter. From organizing an event or taking care of our animals and the shelter grounds, each of these Partners plays a special role in helping us with our mission of caring for and finding ‘furever’ homes for our animals.
