SAVING WILLOW<br />

Willow was found on the streets by Animal Care<br />

& Control and was very sick by the time she got<br />

to PAWS Chicago. This tiny, two-month-old was<br />

suffering from an injured leg and a severe upper<br />

respiratory infection and needed immediate medical<br />

intervention, as well as some quiet time to heal. And<br />

that’s just what she got.<br />

PAWS Chicago veterinarians gave her the<br />

individualized care that she needed and loving<br />

fosters provided her with the nurturing and<br />

attention she needed to regain her strength and<br />

her health. Thanks to that teamwork, Willow is on<br />

her way to being medically cleared and will soon be<br />

available for adoption.<br />

SAVING THOR<br />

> If you’re interested in fostering pets like Willow<br />

or Thor, visit pawschicago.org/foster.<br />

Thor, a two-year-old Husky, was founding wandering the streets<br />

of Chicago before ending up in the city pound. Typical of the<br />

Husky breed, Thor had lots of energy and wasn’t given the<br />

training or socialization as a pup to prepare him for a life in<br />

the big city. At PAWS Chicago, he became a Gold Star Dog and<br />

received special one-on-one sessions with trained volunteers<br />

and the PAWS Canine Behavior team, learning obedience skills<br />

and enjoying lots of playtime as he waited to meet adopters who<br />

could give him the home he needed to thrive. He also benefited<br />

from time in foster, where he learned how to be part of a family.<br />

After waiting patiently for nearly a year and polishing up his new<br />

skills, Thor found his perfect match in March.<br />
