This shelter is the one that needs volunteers the most in all of Chicago. I volunteer there and it is a great place to volunteer to help animals get adopted. I know many other volunteers who find it very fulfilling work. The more volunteers are there, the more animals find good homes. If you volunteer you are working showing the dogs and cats in the adoption pavillions to prospective adopters, exercising dogs in the big yard, or doing data entry. The volunteer orientation is very informative and held each month. Most people know this shelter by the name Chicago Animal Care and Control. On the website are the orientation dates. It is also a great place to find a new dog or cat member of your family. 30,000 animals come through their doors every year. Give them a try! An easier to remember web address for them is http://www.cityofchicago.org/animalcarecontrol
