The money you raise at our 16th Annual Shelter Shiver will help homeless animals of Chicago!
Since ALIVE Rescue's founding in 2008 we have been able to save over 2,135 dogs, cats, and rabbits. Events like Shelter Shiver help us fund much needed medical care the animals require. We spend an average of $757 on every animal we save. Our goal is to rescue 200 animals in 2025 which means our anticipated medical costs this year will be $151,400. This event is vital to our life-saving efforts and your participation ensures we can provide the best care possible to everyone we welcome into the ALIVE Rescue family.
REGISTRATION INFO
For the last 15 years Shelter Shiver participants have plunged into Lake Michigan at North Avenue Beach during the winter months. Register today by paying the $25 registration fee and start preparing for your shiver. Prizes will be announced and awarded during our after party at Off Color Brewing.
Don't want to do it alone? Put a team together and shiver as a group.
Why participate? Why donate?
Our annual Shelter Shiver is generally our top revenue generating event. Without donations from this event, we would not be able to save the number of lives we do. Help us reach our goal of $50,000.
The first 50 participants to register will receive a Shelter Shiver gift.

We have found the most effective way to raise funds is to send personal emails explaining the event and ALIVE Rescue’s mission, along with a link to your fundraising page. Once someone makes a donation to your page, thank them on Facebook. When you post the thank you on your timeline, tag the person you are thanking and include a link to your fundraising page. This encourages others to donate as well.
