I have volunteered at the Evanston Animal Shelter over the last 7 years. Volunteering there has helped me realize my true potential and what I was put on this earth to do- save animals and help people. EAS is truly more than a shelter, and I am honored to be a part of such a strong and compassionate community.
*** The Trot for Tails Virtual 5k fundraiser has ended. Thank you for all of your support! ***

OUR MISSION
We give companion animals the best chance at the life they deserve through rehabilitation, foster care, adoption and community support that keeps pets with the people who love them.
We operate out of a 2800 square foot facility caring for an average of 650 animals per year. We are very proud of our 97% save rate. With a commitment to serving our socio-economically diverse community, our support programs expand our reach beyond this tiny footprint.
Our Pet Food and Supply Pantry has become even more important during this difficult time. We are currently providing more than 1,000 pounds of food weekly to owners in need. Rather than having to surrender a beloved pet, our Custodial Program offers animal care free-of-charge when people are facing a short-term housing crisis. Our Senior Safety Net Program helps seniors on a fixed income cover the costs of routine medical care for their pets.
We cannot do this alone. That’s why we're asking you to join us as we continue to care for animals and people in our community. They need us now more than ever.
