CACC completed 3,106 adoptions(over 1,200 more than 2018) CACC returned 1,660 animals toowner (almost 100 more than 2018) 7,809 animals were transferred torescue Launching use of iPads in the field and shelter so that servicing calls and caring forand intaking animals becomes more efficient Continued work with other City Departments to collaborate on community mattersand ways to service Chicago residents and their pets together Provide irregular n-house and offsite vaccine and microchip clinics in all 50 wards Launching social media campaign to provide good public service announcements Continue to hold regular safety seminars and informative talks for volunteers bybrining in experts in several fields: behavioral, health and safe handling 12,575 animals were either adopted,rescued or returned to their owners.

PROGRAMMINGSafe Humane Chicago providesspecific training to volunteers andrabies vaccines to CACC’s dogs sothat all of CACC’’s dogs can participate in playgroup., keeping themenriched, exercised and healthier.Safe Humane Chicago led the initiative in partnership with Friends ofCACC, CACC’s Dog Transfer Team,PAWS Chicago and others to buildand maintain more playlots atCACC. Not only does Safe Humaneprovide enrichment for the dogs,but it also advocates for dogs in thecourt system being held as evidence, and provides re-entry programming to individuals exiting rehabilitation centers and the penalsystem.4Chicagoland Rescue Intervention &Support Program-CRISP, serves to divert animals from being surrenderedto CACC. From providing assistancewith medical issues, to vaccines, tobehavioral training, to landlordmatters, CRISP successfully divertedover 650 animals in 2019 from beingimpounded at CACC. CRISP is comprised of several Homeward BoundRescue Partners who volunteer theirtime at the West Entrance IntakeDoor at CACC approximately three tofour days per week. If animals cannotstay with their owners, the CRISPteam seeks to divert them immediately to rescue.13
PROGRAMMINGIn late 2018, CACC’s Executive Director KelleyGandurski noticed a gap in care of CACC’s animals. After CACC’s medical staff leaves forthe evening, there are stray animals thatoften come into the shelter injured afterhours. Friends of Chicago Animal Care andControl quickly jumped at the opportunity tohelp. This launched the After Hours CrisisCare Program (“AHCCP”). Now, critically sickor injured stray animals coming into CACCafter-hours can be taken directly to MedVetChicago, and Friends pays for the stabilizingtreatment. This has saved approximately 30animals in 6 mos.CACC launched its short-term fostercare program in the spring of 2019.Now baby bottle-fed kittens, heartworm positive dogs, young puppies andany dog or cat with a special medicalneed can be fostered back to healthand made available for direct rescue oradoption. The idea is that no animalshould be held back from recuperatingin a home if there is a home available.If interested, please email:CACCFoster@cityofchicago.org.125
CACC EMPHASIZES THE “CARE”PROGRAMMINGIN ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROLThe way to keep animals enriched and to keep the public informed and interested inadopting, fostering, or volunteering is to implement creative programing. In 2019, CACC implemented the following new programs:In partnership with Fetching Tails Foundation, LOST312 is a texting applicationservice that allows Chicago residentswho lose their pet to text “LOST” to 1855-LOST312 for helpful tips and services to help reunite lost pets with theirowners. Losing a pet is very stressfuland many pet owners do not knowwhat to do. Using this application givesa step-by-step direction to inform Chicago residents on all of the tools to findtheir lost pet. #LOST312At any given time, CACC can house over 500 animals per day. CACC provides cleaning,feeding and general care to the animals in the following ways: CACC Partners with the West Side Health Authority, a jobs-training program. West SideHealth Authority employees provide cleaning, feeding and watering of all dog kennelsevery day from 7:30am to 12pm.CACC has Animal Care Aides (“ACAs”) and Animal Care Clerks (“ACC”) who provide intake assessments, vaccinations, perform cleaning, feeding and care of every animal atthe facility. Feeding occurs twice daily for all animals.Three fulltime veterinarians and 7 fulltime medical staff provide all spay, neuter , treatments and medical services to all animals at the facility.The READI Chicago Program through Heartland Alliance provides approximately 10 volunteers for 4 hours each day, Monday through Friday. The participants learn animalhandling skills, and provide in-kennel enrichment for CACC’s animals.6An innovative new program, Doogie DayOut allows any member of the public(limited to Illinois residents) to take one ofCACC’s dogs on a field trip for a day outsideof the shelter. Dogs eligible for the program are fully-vetted and residing at CACCfor 30 days or more. The program has garnered much public attention, and it has ledto several dogs becoming adopted. Gettinga break from the shelter lowers stress levels and keeps dogs healthier. For info,email CACCFoster@cityofchicago.org.#DoggieDayOut11
CACC’S VOLUNTEERS MAKE A TREMENDOUS IMPACTIN HELPING CACC’S ANIMALS Since January of 2018, volunteer hours averaged approximately 22,286 hours a year. CACC intends to increase volunteermembership and retention in 2020 and track success by the newnumber of volunteers enrolled and increasing the total averagehours by 5%, or to 23,400 hours.Volunteers walk and enrich dogs, and provide TLC for catsand make enrichment toys. Volunteers assist with administrativetasks, adoption events, off site events, and playgroups for dogs.Instrumental in assisting CACC with these important endeavors are partnerships with Safe Humane Chicago and Friends of Chicago Animal Careand Control. Safe Humane provides the necessarytraining for playgroup leaders, has assisted CACC inbuilding out the yard for dogs, provides enrichmenttoys, and a re-entry program for the West SideHealth Authority kennel workers. Friends of CACCprovides a part time volunteer coordinator to CACC tocoordinate events and assist volunteers with questions, concerns and training. Additionally, Friends hosts 24 new volunteer orientations every year at CACC.Together, Safe Humane and Friends purchased new volunteer software to allow all to have a more interactive experience.CACC’S NEW MEDICAL FACILITYRenovations to CACC’s medical facility began in January of 2019 and ended in October. Therenovations approximated 2 million and crated a state-of-the-art veterinary medicalfacility for CACC’s animals. Even with renovations, CACC’s medical team performed morethan 1,100 more surgeries than in 2018! The new medical facility allows CACC’s medicalstaff to more efficiently treat and spay / neuter CACC’s animals, which ultimately lead to3,100 adoptions in 2019. CACC has partnered with the University of Wisconsin MadisonShelter Medicine Experts to refine medical protocols and is teaming up with the Universityof Illinois Veterinary Medical School to provide more service to Chicago’s homeless animals.10CACC’s 2020 goals include, reaching out to the City’ssenior centers for volunteer opportunities and high school students. CACC also intends to host more safe handling trainings,and year-round informative seminars for volunteers.7
AND SPRINGS INTO ACTION TO SAVE EACH LIFE.CACC EXPECTS THE UNEXPECTED The key to managing the “unexpected” is to network through your existing partners, volunteers and the community to make new partners and place the call for help. Sometimes, thepartnerships you form are out-of-state networks. Whatever the situation, working togetherto transger animals in a safe, healthy and comfortable environment is imperative.2019 brought worldwide media attention to CACCwhen “Chance the Snapper” found his way into theHumboldt Park Lagoon. CACC quickly sprung intoaction for his capture by retaining a reptilian expertin Florida, partnering with Lincoln Park andBrookfield Zoos for transport, and making a newpartner in the St. Augustine Alligator Farm in Florida. CACC also rallied several city departments together to create a safe and successful capture!This summer, CACC received a call about a possible cockfighting ring on the southside. As aresult of the call and investigation, CACC confiscated 114 roosters and hens.Hoarding cases are particularly taxing on anopen-access shelter, especially during the summer months when intake is high. CACC sawapproximately 5 hoarding cases over the lastyear. In response to this issue, CACC has developed a task force with several city departmentsand Homeward Bound Rescue Partners readyto provide assistance to the owner and immediate care and rescue for the animals.Typically, animal control facilities do not save these animals, but instead elect to humanelyeuthanize. Because of CACC’s strong network, CACC is one of the first shelters to save all114 of these animals, most of which are being rehabilitated. This is in large part to newpartnerships such as the Chicago Roo Crew, Chicago Animal Save, and Chicago Chicken Rescue. These advocates were able to create a nationwide network to get each and every rooster and hen to homes or sanctuary. CACC also used created new approaches, such as opening up to allow adoptions of the roosters to the public.To CACC, its partners and the community, eachlife matters. CACC’s field staff are expertly trainedto safely and humanely capture even the mostunexpected of strays. “McKinley” the sheep wastransported to an animal sanctuary where shewill live out her natural life.CACC even captured a stray monkey in the spring of2019, and successfully transferred it to a sanctuary. In2020, CACC will continue to build more partnerships andutilize the nationwide animal rescue network it built in2019 to save more lives, quickly and expeditiously moveanimals to proper placement, educate the public on humane care of animals and illegal pets. CACC also continues to market its good work, which elicits support fromthe community.This scared little coyote pup fell into LakeMichigan. The Chicago Fire Department werequick to the rescue, and CACC was able tokeep him warm and comfortable until he wastransported to Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.89
