Many animals are in need of homes  in the city of Chicago. Organizations like PAWS, Treehouse Humane Society, or Chicago Canine Rescue also need volunteers to help walk, feed, train and play with the animals.  Some organizations, like Red Door Shelter, help other animals besides cats and dogs, like guinea pigs, birds, bunnies, and more! Many of these organizations also have special events setup to help animals in need.
