Society volunteers are the backbone of the shelter, and dedicate their time, resources, compassion and their hearts to each and every animal that finds itself at the Anti-Cruelty Society.

What better way to show gratitude and support for the amazing volunteer humans of the Society than making a contribution to their fundraising efforts for the Society's 28th annual BARK fundraiser taking place in May?? Read on read on..., for more detail on just how truly awesome BARK will be this year, and just how MASSIVE of an impact the fundraiser has on the thousands of pets who rely on the Anti-Cruelty Society for help each year.

What is BARK, you may ask?

The Anti-Cruelty Society's annual fundraiser, BARK, is back for its 28th edition this year and we could not be more excited to bring together our community of caring in-person this year! BARK will be held on May 21st, 2022 from 8am-1pm at the Stadium Green at Solider Field. BARK includes a 2.5-mile walk along the lakefront, live entertainment, food and drinks (beer!), an agility course, canine massage, and lots of engaging activities for the whole family.

In closing, we thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your generous support of the Anti-Cruelty Society's second to none volunteer community. Without these dedicated humans, the Anti-Cruelty Society could not give what it does to so many animals in need.
