Paula James Fasseas, Chair of PAWS Chicago, and Guest on My Radio Show This Past Week
Paula Fasseas is the Vice Chairman of the Metropolitan Bank Group, which she co-founded with her husband 31 years ago. In 1997, Fasseas founded PAWS Chicago, (Pets Are Worth Saving), the city’s largest non-profit, humane organization focused on making Chicago a “No Kill” city, where pets are not destroyed just because they are homeless.
In 2000 PAWS Chicago opened The Lurie Clinic, a free spay/neuter clinic for pets of low income families. Through its spay/neuter efforts the Clinic has greatly reduced the number of homeless pets needlessly killed in Chicago and is located in inner city Chicago where the highest number of stray and unwanted pets originate. In September 2007 Fasseas opened the PAWS Chicago Adoption & Humane Center, the first cageless, No Kill shelter of its kind in the Midwest, revolutionizing the way homeless animals are sheltered. Recently, Oprah toured and featured the Adoption & Humane Center on her talk show and on the cover of O Magazine’s June issue.
Fasseas’ business experience and MBA from the University of Chicago have greatly contributed to her success in both the business and non-profit areas. Fasseas has positioned PAWS Chicago to become a national, life-saving model. She was recently named Chicagoan of the Year by Chicago Magazine for her achievements through PAWS Chicago.
