The Marshall Field Family From Downtown to Dog Town, Transforming Chicago by Alexis Fasseas Field family Jamee Sr., Jamee Jr., and Abigail Field with PAWS Chicago rescue, Madison From education and the environment to the arts and animal welfare, the Marshall Field family has made a tremendous impact on the city of Chicago.

At the end of her life she adopted strays.” Jamee’s family had five Boston Terriers through her childhood. “My mother always chose the runt of the litter to save it. She felt that no one would want it. This was long before people gave much thought to adopting strays,” Jamee recalls. “But I know that if our parents had had the PAWS influence, they would have been on board too.” Jamee and Marshall had dogs throughout their marriage and rescued their first shelter dog 14 years ago–a Lab / Pitbull mix who still enjoys chasing squirrels today. “PAWS has answered all of our concerns about animal care and welfare in the city of Chicago,” Jamee said.
