The Anti-Cruelty Society is a comprehensive, open door animal shelter, and one of the largest humane societies in the country. Located in Chicago's River North neighborhood, The Anti-Cruelty Society has been helping animals since 1899.

Our Mission:
The Anti-Cruelty Society exists to prevent cruelty to animals and to advance humane education.

Since 1899, The Anti-Cruelty Society has been committed to serving the needs of companion animals and the humans who care for–and about–them.

Our Second Century:
Since 1999, the beginning of our second century of caring, we have found loving permanent homes for more than 40,000 pets, spayed or neutered more than 61,000 animals and taught messages of compassion and caring for the animals to more than 225,000 school-aged children and community groups.

Services & Resources:
In addition to receiving and caring for thousands of animals each year, we provide a wide variety of services and resources. These include an adoption program, a low-cost spay/neuter clinic, a rehabilitation & treatment center, a low-income clinic, humane education/community outreach, cruelty and abuse investigations and rescue, dog training classes, a free behavior hotline, and pet visitations.
