        <Description>SINCE OPENING IN 2000, PAWS CHICAGO'S LURIE SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC HAS PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN REDUCING THE NUMBER OF UNWANTED DOGS AND CATS BORN BY PROVIDING FREE OR LOW COST SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES FOR PETS OF CHICAGO'S MOST UNDER-RESOURCED FAMILIES. LOW COST VETERINARY SERVICES ARE ALSO PROVIDED FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES' PETS, SMALLER SHELTERS, AND RESCUE GROUPS. PAWS CHICAGO ALSO MANAGES A ROBUST TRAP-NEUTER-RETURN PROGRAM FOR FERAL CATS. WITH PETS REPRODUCING EXPONENTIALLY, SPAY/NEUTER IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF UNWANTED PETS BORN AND RELINQUISHED TO SHELTERS. THE LURIE CLINIC PROVIDED OVER 17,500 SURGERIES IN 2012 AND IS THE LARGEST PROVIDER IN CHICAGOLAND.</Description>

        <Description>IN 2011, THE GUSMOBILE SPAY/NEUTER VAN WAS DONATED TO PAWS CHICAGO TO ENABLE THE ORGANIZATION TO REACH FURTHER INTO LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES AND PROVIDE FREE AND LOW-COST SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES, MEDICAL CARE, VACCINATIONS AND HUMANE EDUCATION ONSITE IN CHICAGO'S MOST IMPOVERISHED NEIGHBORHOODS. THERE IS A DIRECT CORRELATION BETWEEN WARDS WITH THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF STRAY ANIMALS AND WARDS WITH THE LOWEST INCOME LEVEL. BY OFFERING SERVICES DIRECTLY IN THESE HIGH STRAY/LOW-INCOME WARDS, PAWS CHICAGO IS DIRECTLY TARGETING THE SOURCE OF UNWANTED AND HOMELESS PETS. THE GUSMOBILE PROVIDED 611 SURGERIES IN 2012. PAWS CHICAGO'S COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND HUMANE EDUCATION EFFORTS REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT PET OVERPOPULATION AND THE TRAGIC KILLING OF HOMELESS PETS, AS WELL AS SPREAD INFORMATION ON PAWS CHICAGO'S NO KILL SOLUTION TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. PAWS CHICAGO ALSO REACHED INTO AT-RISK COMMUNITIES TO TEACH EMPATHY, COMPASSION, HOW TO CARE FOR PETS AND HOW TO STOP THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE. NEWSLETTERS, MAGAZINES AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS ARE PUBLISHED AND DISTRIBUTED TO THE PUBLIC AND DONORS.</Description>
