CRISP

Chicagoland Rescue Intervention and Support Program (“CRISP”) provides low or no-cost services to help Chicago pet owners keep their pets rather than surrendering them to the city shelter. Keeping pets with owners that loves them not only preserves the human animal bond, but helps our animal control reserve their limited resources for pets that truly need them.

In 2025 CRISP Chicago will shift to supporting pets through vaccination and microchip clinics throughout Chicagoland. Pet owners in need of additional urgent care at those clinics will be eligible for CRISP support.

About CRISP

CRISP was created to provide owners and pets with thoughtful and loving alternatives to the shelter. During a Canine Influenza outbreak in 2016, dogs became at high risk once they entered the shelter. While Canine Influenza has dissipated, high populations, lower adoptions, and other contagious diseases mean animals entering the shelters are still at high risk. CRISP aims at keeping pets out of the shelter, and keeping them in their homes where they belong.

CRISP operated in Chicago Animal Care & Control from 2016-2023. Today, CRISP supports the community by putting on small and large scale wellness, vaccine, and microchip clinics throughout Chicagoland.
