Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) is charged with the responsibility of rescuing tens of thousands of lost and homeless animals and animals suffering from cruelty, neglect and indifference. In additon, we are the only shelter in Chicago that has an "open door" policy--- meaning that we accept any animal at any time for any reason, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
As a result of our non-discriminatory animal acceptance policy as well as the work of the Animal Rescue units, we bear the majority of the burden for keeping Chicago neighborhoods safe from stray and dangerous animals.
CACC is also responsible for responding to over 68,000 calls a year for service or inquiries from the general public relating to animals, such as stray or dangerous dogs). We also rescue dangerous and stray animals from public areas, rescue unwanted, injured and abused animals, investigate complaints of animal bites and animal cruelty, inspect all animal-related businesses and activities in the city and advocate humane treatment of all animals in the City of Chicago.
Another important responsibility that we have is caring for the ever-changing roster of roughly 500 animals housed at our facility and ultimately determining the fate of each animal on an individual basis.
To that end, CACC rescues and provides veterinary care, food, water and shelter to over 26,000 animals every year. In 2003, of those 26,000 animals: 3,000 were adopted to homes, 4,000 were transferred to rescue groups, 1,200 were redeemed to their owners, and 18,000 were euthanized. Although our mission is to save lives, irresponsible pet ownership often requires euthanization of animals.
