Chicago Animal Care and Control complaints and report

I have to award ACC five stars because I love my dog SO much. We looked around at a lot of shelters and just didn't discover the right dog until we stumbled upon our darling little pup at the pound.

It was a very simple procedure to adopt her (almost TOO simple). It took maybe 20 minutes of waiting after filling out an application and then, basically, someone told us we were approved and minutes later we were out the door with her.

As happy as I was about that...I was also a little responsible. Shouldn't there have been more screening involved? But anyway, it all worked out in our case.

She did, however, have kennel cough and an ear infection. I think when we took her to the vet right after adopting her, the bill was somewhere around $250 for everything she needed. But, the adoption fee at ACC is only $65 (which includes spay/neuter, city dog license and shots) so it was really no big deal.

But I think this place will always have a exceptional place in my heart because it's where we found our dog, and I totally love the shit out of her!
