One of the best things about our new shelter is having the space to help more dogs. While that space is quickly filling up, we’re so happy that this sweet old man found his way to us ❤️

Gerald was left tied up to a pole in a forest preserve and our friends over at Cook County Animal Control brought him to us. The stench of urine hit our noses like a ton of bricks when he walked in but that handsome face slayed our hearts. His hind end is missing a lot of fur and you can count most of his bones but all he wants to do is eat and be loved on. He got a bath and is ready for a foster or foster-to-adopt home!

Come meet Gerald during our open adoption hours and see for yourself how special he is! ❤️

Update: Thank you for all the support! Sandy has been adopted!

Princess Sandy was surrendered to us last night and her whole life has been turned upside down. It was such a sad scene with her previous human bringing in so many cute little belongings like beds and toys and bones but Sandy will be safe with us until we can find her a new home ❤️

Sandy is 5 years old and so shut down already. She shakes in her cage and doesn’t understand what happened, it’s heartbreaking. She’s ready to meet someone who can break her out ASAP….like today between 1-4 PM during our open hours! Come meet Sandy!

While our shelter has more space now, those spots have quickly filled up and we know there await many more doggos that need us! Come meet some dogs that are available for adoption or foster and let’s get some of the honey buns out of here! ❤️❤️❤️

Merch here! Get ya merch here!

Our Bonfire store is officially up and running! Check out what we've got so far and join us in repping EAS while out and about!

The money we make goes right back into the animals and programs that continue to make us more than a shelter 💜💚

We give companion animals the best chance at the life they deserve through rehabilitation, foster care, adoption and community support.

Our first adoption in our new home happened this weekend and it’s a BIG one!

Rum Raisin has been with us 2021. He originally came to us as part of a hoarder case after the house caught fire. Our staff and volunteers spent days getting 40+ cats out of the house and endured so much heartache throughout the whole process. Rum Raisin is one of the last few remaining Ice Cream cats that was looking for a forever home and found just that with the absolute perfect family for him! They will be patient, and gentle, and so caring. We’re so happy for everyone!

Happy Tails, Rum Raisin! And thank you for starting our adoptions off with a bang! ❤️

We celebrated our ribbon cutting yesterday!

We were so excited, we ALMOST forgot to share it! We’re one step closer to opening our doors to the public ❤️

This building has been a labor of love and we couldn’t have done it without City of Evanston Illinois Government, Cook County Government, and so many more others including YOU!

Come check out the building this Sunday, October 6th from 1-4 PM!

*In our best announcer voice*

Introducing....
the one and only....
our distinguished gentleman....
Senhor Noite!!!!

He is debonair with his sleek black coat and wants us to think he has lived the life of luxury. Unfortunately, we don't have the heart to tell him he came to us after a good Samaritan saw him being placed in a dumpster. Being the incredible cat he is, he was able to escape the dumpster on his own, but then got stuck in a storm drain where he spent the night. His finder didn't give up on him and finally rescued him from his plight. He seems to have made a full recovery back to nobility and is ready to make your home his kingdom. This sweet babe fought too hard for his second chance to not live the luxurious life he was destined to have.

You can have the honor of meeting his highness during adoption hours, or shall we say his presentation, today from 12-3 PM or Wednesday from 5-8 PM at 611 South Blvd 🫅

Have you ever seen a happier dog?!

Buttercup has been back with us for almost a year and we really want her to find her forever! She is sweet, and loyal, and smart, and loving-she shouldn’t be with us! She wants to be the only pet in your house but she’s pretty awesome in every other way. Butter is housebroken, crate trained, knows basic commands, loves to give kisses, cuddling is her thing, and this girly loves a field trip ❤️

This month, a lot of our long term dogs have gone home but Butter remains. We love her endlessly but her best friend has to be out there and we hope they find each other soon! Come meet this absolute beauty this weekend!

Her amputation surgery recovery went seamlessly! She had her stitches removed yesterday and she’s now able to be the mischievous, adventurous, funny, kind of crazy kitten she was always meant to be!
