Our PAWS Pet of the Week is a 9-year-old fighter named Tyson. This Chicago native weighing in at 10.2 pounds, Tyson came to PAWS Chicago as a stray so he has plenty of experience in a home. He will follow you around the room, but be warned – if you sit down, he will immediately climb in your lap. Tyson is curious and will hop in the window or on a chair to make sure he can see you. He does have a 3-second rule before you can pet him, but don't worry, he won't bite you, or your ear.

So far in 2024, the number of dogs and cats – like Tyson – entering the Chicago city pound continues to surge, so PAWS Chicago has to do more to save the lives of homeless pets. They recently announced the Chicago Animal Crisis Fund to allow Chicagoland pet lovers to support the expanded programs that PAWS has introduced. To help save the lives of Chicago's homeless pets, or for more information go to pawschicago.org/crisisfund.
