Volunteers will work with Court Case Program dogs like Pudge, Dimple, Raisinette, and Sandy who can then be placed in homes.

The Court Case Dog Program started in January 2010 through the efforts of Chicago Animal Care and Control, Best Friends Animal Society, D.A.W.G. Court Advocacy and Safe Humane Chicago. These organizations sought to establish a more compassionate and dog-friendly approach to a serious problem. Some of these Court Case Dogs were held at CACC for two years or more.

Who are “Court Case Dogs”?
Court Case Dogs have been relinquished (voluntarily or by court order) by defendant owners charged with animal abuse or neglect of all kinds and housed at CACC.

What does the Court Case Dog Program do?
This program assesses each dog behaviorally and provides appropriate candidates with a protocol of socialization, training and enrichment. The ultimate goal is to find homes for these animals.

Why is a program needed for Court Case Dogs?
Previously, dogs associated with court cases were routinely euthanized when relinquished or after a guilty outcome in their owners’ court cases. They should be assessed individually. The dogs in this program are not “damaged goods,” but victims of thoughtless or inhumane owners and a court system that then leaves them impounded in cages for needlessly long periods. These dogs deserve to be given the chance of life in a home.

How can you help the Court Case Dogs?
The dogs in this program have proven themselves to be emotionally resilient and have earned the chance of life outside the walls of CACC. We are looking for anyone interested in providing a second chance to dogs who have “done the time but not the crime.”  Volunteers will be trained to handle the pups, some of whom have been in their cages without even a walk for nearly two years, and work with them on socialization.  Volunteers will also help with bathing the dogs and otherwise work with them to become adoptable.

Two volunteer orientation sessions have been scheduled at CACC.

Our girl Margot, the cattle dog that was on the loose for 6 months, is once again missing in Chicago.

She was spotted previously in Humboldt Park just north of Division between Humboldt Blvd and Kedzie.  On Monday, August 9th she was spotted near Elston and Augusta going into an overgrown, fenced off lot across from a Yellow Cab company lot.

We need your help in spreading the word to any and all contacts you have in the Goose Island, Noble Square, East Village, Wicker Park, Ukrainian Village, Humboldt Park, and Logan Square areas. Please post this flyer around your area or email it to anyone you know that can help!  Download the flyer by clicking here.

We found out where she was last time through a chain of people that ultimately led to one of our postings that someone had seen.  All sighting reports have been through flyers.  Spreading the word really does make a difference, so please do anything you’re able to help!
