Over 30 dogs are leaving for 2 night sleepovers as we begin maintenance on our next pavilion tomorrow.

This creates critical space and gives dogs a break outside the shelter.

If you can hold off on owner surrenders, it helps more than you know.

Thank you, Chicago. 🐾

We ask our community to please keep Mamadou’s family, loved ones, friends, and colleagues in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

[Chicago Animal Care and Control @ChicagoACC]

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Mamadou Diakhate, a dedicated public servant, leader, and lifelong advocate for animals and the communities he served. 🕊️

[Chicago Animal Care and Control @ChicagoACC]

He was respected for his knowledge, kindness, integrity, and mentorship. Mamadou led with humility and purpose and will be remembered fondly by all who had the privilege to work with him.
