George the cockapoo that loves walking and people!
YOU CAN SUPPORT THIS FUNDRAISER!

Hi. I'm George. I was brought to DuPage County Animal Services as a stray. They think I might be 5 years old. I'm really thankful to all the staff that cleaned me up, gave me medical care and took great care of me. I had fun socializing with the volunteers who helped make my stay at the shelter more enjoyable. I now live with my new family and will be walking in the DuPage Human Race to continue helping other animals that are homeless like I was. I would be really grateful if you helped me reach my fundraising goal. ​

Raymond on the Run!

YOU CAN SUPPORT THIS FUNDRAISER 

Raymond here! I am ready to help DuPage Animal Friends raise funds to help microchip my pals! DCACC has done so much for me and the other animals in their care. One way they help is microchipping animals so that it is easier for my buddies to find their way home if they get lost. I'd be so grateful if you would help me reach my fundraising goal! Even $20 can mean an animal gets microchipped and registered.

THE SPACE CAT

Help the #spacecat Help Homeless Pets

Look for Moe flying in his yellow space ship and come say, "Meow!"
After all, the #spacecat has a special place in his heart for homeless pets and the humans that take care of them. Having been homeless at one time, he understands the importance of the work at DuPage County’s animal shelter – one of the only open admission animal shelters in the area.
