We rely on the donations, memorials and bequests, trusts and other gifts from concerned
and caring individuals. We receive no state or federal funding. We are dependent on the generosity
of our supporters to allow us to sustain the high level of quality care and services currently
provided to homeless and needy animals.
Each contributor can elect to donate a gift in a way that best suits his or her personal
preference.
The Animal Welfare League will protect its donors' privacy and will not sell or distribute in
any way the donors' personal or contact information unless required by law.

Our Thoughtful Place - Commerative Brick

The Animal Welfare League offers a way to remember a special pet or honor those who are committed
to the humane care and treatment of animals in need. "Our Thoughtful Place" is a garden located on
the grounds of the League’s Chicago Ridge shelter. It features a beautiful garden setting with a
patchwork of engraved bricks. The bricks are inscribed with names and messages chosen by people
who truly love animals. Help support the League by giving a lasting tribute to a loved one.
