Anti-Cruelty

Ms. Poppy wants everyone to know that Anti-Cruelty is an open door to compassion, love, and equality. This Pride Month, we celebrate the beautiful spectrum of genders and sexualities, and support equality and justice for the LGBTQ+ community. Happy Pride!

Who is ready to get the zoomies this Saturday at BARK?! It's not too late to grab tickets to Chicago's biggest and best dog pawty! To celebrate 30 years of BARK, we are offering special $30 tickets this week! We can't wait to see you at Soldier Field, learn more and register at bark.funraise.org. All proceeds go directly to help Anti-Cruelty animals in need.

We are blown away by Berman Auto Group's continued generosity! This winter, Anti-Cruelty was selected by Berman Subaru to be their charity partner for the 'Subaru Share the Love' event- raising $46,050 to directly support the animals in our care! Thank you for all of your incredible support throughout the years!

Anti-Cruelty in the community! This month our community impact team, volunteers, and vet staff partnered with Breakthrough in East Garfield Park to provide vet care to local residents. 75 dogs received physical exams, vaccines, microchips, flea/tick preventative, and other supplies - it was a great day!
