TRANSFERSHomeward Bound Transfer ProgramCACC is the central intake hub for pets (and wildlife) fromChicago. Most homeless pets in our area start their journey tonew lives at our facility.Part of our mission is to place every adoptable animal in a lovinghome. In order to accomplish this, we need to “distribute” theanimals across the entire region (and sometimes beyond!).Our HB Transfer Program has been very successful in placingthousands of animals with other agencies. We are proud of ourrelationships with over 200 shelters and rescue groups.You may think of us as the central warehouse or wholesaler andour network of private shelters and rescue groups as theboutiques. We are truly #BetterTogether!
