Safe Humane is committed to breaking the cycle of violence through trauma-informed care and programs that connect our Court Case Dogs™ with youth and adults impacted by violence, challenged by poverty or extreme trauma in order to help and support each other. SHC has served and supported healing and second chances for 1,402 Court Case Dogs as well as hundreds of youth, school children, veterans, adults working to re-enter the community and other community members.

We are privileged to partner with Chicago Animal Care and Control to offer group volunteer opportunities that bring community members into the shelter for hands-on service and experience. These visiting groups have an immediate impact and help over the longer-term to build and sustain a network of awareness and support for Chicago's animals at CACC.
And they come ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work! Thank you to Harris and Harris and ComEd for helping us this past week to get our outdoor spaces ready for the season!

When Mamadou Diakhate was promoted from Shelter Manager at Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) to Operations Manager in 2012, he became an effective and compassionate City liaison for animal abuse cases and the Safe Humane Chicago Court Advocacy program. He had already shown himself to be a dedicated advocate for the Court Case Dogs. His commitment continued when he became CACC Executive Director and at Cook County Rabies and Animal Control. Without soon running out of material, we could post daily gratitude for his tireless efforts and unwavering dedication to CACC, Safe Humane Chicago, and Chicagoland animals and their people. We wish we had more photos of this iconic man. He is a vital part of our legacy. We miss him. Rest in peace, power, and love, Mamadou!
