Found Chicago

Found is a 501(c)3 non-profit rescue and re-homing center focused on individualized medical and behavioral rehabilitation for homeless dogs and cats that would otherwise be euthanized

In 2009, Chicago alone destroyed over 10,000 dogs and cats who were healthy, or had a treatable behavioral or medical condition because no one was willing to give them the extra rehabilitation and care they needed. As a no-kill center, Found is diligently working to change that through our mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home.
Through this vital work, Found:
-saves lives
-enhances the human-animal bond
-ensures successful and long-term re-homing
-gives back to the community through humane education programs

Found has been in operation since December 2009.

Each year, Found hosts Day of the Dog, a fall block party and fundraiser for pets and pet lovers. In January, Found will host it's first annual Humane Awards.
