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

Our new friend Cool Whip here would like to talk to you about the importance of spay and neuter.
Cool Whip came to us at 7 years old with Pyometra- an infection in her uterus which would have caused her to die. When she came in, our dear friends at Midwest Animal Hospital immediately took her in for lifesaving surgery, so Cool Whip would live. She also unfortunately has heartworm and will need to undergo treatment for that too.
What prevents pyometra? Spaying your pets! Spaying and neutering your pet isn’t just to prevent puppies and kittens (although that is a bonus since every shelter or rescue you contact is drowning in animals!), but it also can literally save your pets life! Pyometra, cancer, many unwanted behaviors- these can all be prevented! We offer low cost neuter certificates that can be purchased and used at following vets.
Spay and neuter your pets!

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.
