OPERATION RESCUE-19
RESCUE NEVER STOPS
Operation RESCUE-19 is a strategic partnership between ALIVE Rescue and Paradise 4 Paws created to save homeless pets during the pandemic.

SAVED
Due to significant declines in travel or need for daycare and boarding caused by COVID-19, Paradise 4 Paws was forced to consolidate operations in Chicago and temporarily close their Midway Airport resort. Given the success of our partnership through the Adoption Center (housed in their Pooch Hotel West Loop location), they reached out with a unique opportunity to help us save more animals.
They have donated the use of their Midway resort and we are providing the funds to employ their trained staff to care for these animals during a time when Paradise 4 Paws would otherwise be unable to offer them hours.

38 animals were saved during April and the current budget includes an estimate of 30 saves during May.
