WAGS is a group of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about helping the animals of Waukegan.
We are an auxiliary group formed to raise desperately needed donations and supplies for Waukegan Animal Control and the animals of Waukegan.
Our aim is to provide assistance with everything from basic medicines and veterinary care to spay/neutering, adoption assistance, and community education.
If you too care deeply about some of our most vulnerable Waukegan residents, and would like to know more about our group, or if you are interested in volunteering, please contact us!

Did you know that dogs in shelters can go "cage crazy"? While these innocent dogs wait to be rescued, they often spend long days in their kennel runs. Our shelter is lucky enough to have an outdoor yard to allow the dogs some extra exercise, but having plenty of enrichment items for them to chew on really helps prevent boredom and destructive behaviors which may jeopardize their chances of being pulled by a rescue! Your donation of $15 will be used to purchase a variety of safe, appropriate dog chews (such as raw beef knuckle bones, raw femur bones, rawhides, etc) that will not just entertain the dogs, but may ultimately save their lives while they wait to be rescued!!!

Your gift of $25 will provide 1 bag of cat food which will be distributed to Waukegan colony caretakers for their feral cat colonies. These caretakers are registered through Spay and Stay, and that means that all of the feral cats in their colony are fixed and vaccinated through Spay and Stay, and that these caretakers have agreed to feed these cats indefinitely. Many of our Waukegan caretakers are retirees on fixed incomes, so your gift will not only help the cats, it helps ease the burden of these dedicated caregivers. Thank you!!! We will use your gift to buy the highest quality food possible at a discounted rate.

Your $30 donation will cover the cost of materials for one shelter, which will house ~2 cats. These shelters will be provided free of charge to registered stray/feral cat colony caretakers in Waukegan who are feeding, fixing, and vaccinating stray cats who come onto their property. This is part of a TNR (trap, neuter, release) program which significantly and humanely reduces the number of homeless cats in Waukegan.
