We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the community for supporting us in our time of need.

We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support we have received over the past week. You have been an inspiration to us and because of your kindness and generosity, PAWS will reopen stronger and better than ever.

We will remain closed for approximately 4-6 weeks to enable us to make necessary repairs and to replace our washer and dryer. We will keep you updated every step of the way.

The majority of our dogs and cats have been placed in foster homes. A small number of them remain at Midwest Animal Hospital due to ongoing medical needs or difficulty in finding a single-pet foster home.

We are still placing our fostered animals up for adoption. If you are interesting in adopting, applications can be found on our website.

In March, we will celebrate 50 years of rescue and hope. While this may not be how we planned our 50th anniversary celebrations to begin, it has certainly been a heartwarming reminder to all of us that our strength and endurance as a shelter is due in equal part to the support we receive from the community.

Your kindness and support mean the world to us. We are truly blessed!

FURRY FEATURES

Minnie’s Memorial Fund

The Minnie Memorial Fund which was created years ago by Joan and Wayne Hochwarter after their beloved Minnie passed away. This fund is used for our special needs dogs who may require expensive procedures and surgeries in order to give those dogs a chance for a good life. Besides selling dog bandanas at all events and the Tinley Park Farmers Market, each year on Minnie’s anniversary, Joan and Wayne Hochwarter honor their Minnie by donating $5,000 to the memorial fund. May 11th marked Minnie’s 7th anniversary. What a bittersweet day for all who knew Minnie. P.A.W.S. Tinley Park would not be able to do these life saving procedures without the Minnie Fund and we would like to say “thank you” so very much for Joan and Wayne’s dedication to our special needs dogs. When Joan spoke about Minnie’s fund she said, “Seven years and the tears continue to flow but she does live on in “Minnie’s Dogs”.
