PAWS Chicago, a midwestern animal rescue organization aiming to get shelters to end euthanasia for their resident cats and dogs, is now accepting crypto donations.
In an announcement made Tuesday, PAWS Chicago said it would accept Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), and other tokens to aid its operations in front of its new hospital for homeless cats and dogs. The organization hopes to target “a tech-savvy population of potential donors” and promote crypto donations with digital billboards that have a dog shooting lasers out of its eyes.

“We are committed to connecting with the growing cryptocurrency community who can help sustain the future of animal welfare in Chicago and save the lives of animals,” said Susanna Homan, CEO of PAWS Chicago.
