Fashion Focus Chicago is a week long series of events showcasing

the city's top design talent. Presented by the City of Chicago's

Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE).

PAWS Chicago is the city's largest No Kill humane organization, focused

on implementing solutions to end the killing of homeless pets.

Since PAWS Chicago's founding in 1997, the number of homeless dogs

and cats killed annually has dropped more than 50%.

PAWS Chicago is working to build a No Kill Chicago—a city where pets

are no longer destroyed just because they are homeless.

PAWS Chicago will find new homes for more than 4,500 homeless pets in 2012

through the state-of-the-art Adoption & Humane Center in Lincoln Park.

The cageless Adoption Center provides homeless pets with the care and dignity

they deserve while welcoming adopters, providing them with guidance

in selecting their new pet and continued support for life.
