"Evanston animal shelter is an incredible facility but also a strong community center. Being a volunteer here has both the positive impact of caring for animals in need as well as a sense of belonging in the city."

"Evanston Animal Shelter is a small but mighty municipal shelter that does everything in its power to keep pets with the people who love them! They are largely volunteer run and have a 97% save rate despite taking in all of the strays, surrenders, and abuse/neglect cases from the City of Evanston. I’ve never seen an organization more passionate about its mission."

"This is one of the best shelters in the Evanston area. I volunteer at this location and I see the dedication they make to save any and all dogs/cats that come in either as a stray or a surrender. The love and compassions is there which make this such a wonderful place to volunteer, especially getting to see all of the dogs. I was even fortunate enough to adopt my lovely Mickey. Evanston animal shelter is the best!"

"Evanston animal shelter is so important to me. They care so much about the animals well being and will do anything to keep pets with their owners who may be going through medical issues, financial issues or even housing insecurity. Every volunteer loves on these animals like they are their own. EAS wants only for the animals to leave the shelter and be adopted to start their next chapters, they care so much about making these animals lives better than when they found them. Tanya and Vicky are two of the best people you’ll ever meet and are exactly who you’d want running a shelter."

"EAS does amazing work! They not only take in all dogs from the local community, but they also provide social support programs such as a pet food pantry to keep people united with their pets!"

"The Evanston Animal Shelter goes above and beyond all the time to help care for its' pets. They use social media to showcase animals in a positive way, but only when needed. The manager, Vicki, has become a friend and a resource for my and my husband when we adopted our dog. Their community events are always fun and special for the pets."
