Chicagoland Rescue Intervention & Support Program - CRISP

Chicagoland Rescue Intervention and Support Program (“CRISP”) provides free services to help Chicago pet owners keep their pets rather than surrendering them.

Chicagoland Rescue Intervention and Support Program (“CRISP”) provides low or no-cost services to help Chicago pet owners keep their pets rather than surrendering them to the city shelter. Whether you’re moving, your landlord doesn’t allow pets, or the cost of pet maintenance is too high, taking your pet to the Chicago municipal shelter (Chicago Animal Care and Control or “CACC”) isn’t your only o

ption. And if we can’t help you find a way to keep your pet, our network of Chicago dog and cat lovers will help you place them immediately with a rescue group or no-kill shelter to bypass the city shelter completely.

Friends,

It's been one year since our time at the city shelter came to an end. In the past year we have taken countless referrals of pets needing help, and watched countless stray animals with no identification get stuck in the city shelter. We knew that our work could not end, but what was next for us?

After the City of Chicago recently announced a budget freeze, which meant a stop for Chicago Animal Care & Control's vaccine clinics, we made a decision.

In 2025 CRISP will shift to providing free and low cost vaccines and microchips in the Chicago neighborhoods needing it most. We will continue to provide free veterinary care to any client from our clinics in urgent need of help and we pledge to focus on neighborhoods who need us most.

It's been our pleasure to serve Chicago residents and their pets in 2016, and we're looking forward to a year of keeping pets healthy and in their homes.

Sincerely,

CRISP Chicago

Today we serviced a new neighborhood in a new way and the day could not have been any better.

Our CRISP volunteers offered free microchips, vaccines, leashes, collars and harnesses to the residents of Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood via walk-up AND drive-through options. In all, we helped 210 dogs in just four hours.

Special thanks to 7th Ward Alderman Greg Mitchell for working with us in order to provide this much needed clinic to an area that has not been serviced this way in years.

We could not have made it through the day without the help of all the dedicated volunteers from the rescue groups who make up this invaluable coalition (, , , ).

While animal control eliminates these vital vaccine/microchip clinics, CRISP will step up to add more in 2025. As we saw today, the residents of Chicago need us and we will continue to be there for them.

We have our FREE vaccine/microchip clinic happening this Saturday (10/26) from 10 am - 2 pm in the South Shore neighborhood. Residents will also have access to free leashes, collars, harnesses, and prevention for their dogs.

Help spread the word by sharing this post.

Meet Crespo, a cherished member of his family. Recently, Crespo experienced difficulties with urination, a potentially serious condition that needed prompt attention. We consulted with our trusted partners at Countryside Veterinary Center, where Crespo was diagnosed with a severe urinary tract infection (UTI). Thanks to their expert care and treatment, Crespo is already feeling better and is now back at home, helping to care for his baby sister.

This sweet little guy is Poppa! His owner reached out needing help with a veterinary visit after she noticed he was having trouble using his back legs. We had him checked out with our friends at Countryside Veterinary Center, where we found he had a few congenital issues that a big day of play exacerbated. He was sent home with pain meds and set to be on crate rest to help him feel a little better. We are hoping to connect with another group to help offer Poppa some additional care. In the meantime, send this little guy your best vibes for a quick recovery!

Please consider donating at https://www.crispchicago.com/ and helping out other pets like Poppa!
