Jenny Schlueter is the Executive Director of Heartland Animal Shelter in Wheeling. And the comeback story there is quite incredible. After suffering from a devastating flood (all animals were heroically rescued but the facility suffered serious damage); this is a comeback story of perseverance featuring record adoption numbers.  

Anti Cruelty is the most established animal shelter in Chicago – and President Darlene Duggan explains that it is open admission shelter (which there are none in the City aside from the City run Chicago Animal Care and Control). Most shelters don’t do this – it means Anti Cruelty accepts owner relinquishments every single day and the reality is that means the need more financial resources to care for more animals. Without Anti Cruelty Chicago would be in deep you know what. Also, discussed is the good time Pour Your Heart Out Event in September.
