Anti-Cruelty's Dog Wellness Fairs provide free canine veterinary services throughout Chicago in partnership with Cook County Animal and Rabies Control.

Join us at the 4th Annual Adopt and Shop event in Lakeview East on June 14th from 11AM to 2PM! Discover Broadway transformed into a haven for pet lovers, stretching between Belmont and Hawthorne. Get ready for a day packed with furry friends, exciting deals, and delightful treats for both humans and their pets.

We’re opening our space to all who need a “cuteness break” with puppies, kittens, and adoptable dogs during the workday. Stop by our shelter on select dates and, for a small donation, you’ll get extra doses of animal affection to get you to the weekend!

The heat has reached Chicago, and we've got adorable ways to cool off at Anti-Cruelty all summer long! We are thrilled to open our shelter for a unique and heartwarming yoga series once a month, featuring your favorite furballs and plenty of peaceful poses. This class is more than just a delightful experience - it’s a chance to make a real difference in the lives of animals who need our help!

Come howl with us June 27th at Joe’s on Weed St with live local bands! Emo? Animals? Chaos?! YES!!! Prepare to scream-sing your heart out at the E-Meow Concert—where eyeliner runs, feelings are big, and every meow and woof helps an animal.
