CASA was formed in 2002 by a coalition of Chicago shelters who realized that by working together, we could consolidate our efforts to reach a wider audience, and make a greater impact. Since that time, the organization has grown to include the entire shelter community in Chicago, and much of the veterinary community as well. Our purpose is to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, the needless euthanasia of companion animals in our city, and find homes for every adoptable animal. There are a number of specific strategies that we are implementing in out pursuit of the life-affirming goal, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Joint-effort, city-wide, large scale adoption events.
• Increasing public awareness of the importance of spaying and neutering dogs and cats at an early age.
• Increasing public awareness of the overall problem of pet overpopulation through education and community outreach.
• Promotion of “best practices” for the care of companion animals and the safety of the community at large.
• Promote and implement plans to make Chicago a “No-Kill” City!
