Guess what!  I have a good news surprise for the world! Evanston Animal Shelter is hosting its very first virtual "TROT for TAILS"  fundraiser!  This event can be enjoyed by all!  East, North, South or West the cause is to make the lives of our furry friends the best.  You may walk, skate, bike or run as long as you promise to make this fun. 

So here are the specs:

1. Please join Team Dawn's Dynamic Dynasty! We are a team that is going to dynamically help EAS in caring for it's custodial, adoption, food bank, housing, medical programs and forever fosters. Of course your donations will assist our furry residents as well.
2. By joining please try to involve everyone you know to participate in some way.  We realize that times are a bit tough now.  No woriies, you can participate in the following ways.  Get active with a group and perform a 5K of however you wish; donate; give a gift to the shelter, foster, adopt.  Or be creative and think of your own way to assist. 
3. There is no donation too large or small. However, I will match each donation $25.00 and higher with a virtual 30 minute Personal Training / Pilates session. If you perform the 5K as well just think of how powerful you'll feel!  It's a win win for all!

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.
