Fuzzy Friends Yoga

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!
