Looking to bring home a new furry friend? This weekend in Chicago is the perfect chance to find your next companion!
Chicago Animal Care and Control is hosting its ‘How We Find Forever Homes’ adoption event on Sunday, aiming to find new families for over 250 cats and dogs taken in just this month.
During the event, adoption fees will be waived for animals that have been at the shelter over 30 days! For all other pets, a $65 adoption fee applies.
According to Block Club Chicago, Animal Control has taken in 17% more animals than this time last year, with as many as 40 new pets arriving daily.
With knowledgeable volunteers on hand to offer pet care tips, How We Find Forever Homes promises a day filled with fun, community connection, and a shared love for animals in need.
The event runs from noon to 6 p.m. at Animal Control headquarters (2741 S. Western Ave). Interested adopters must be 18 or older and bring a valid ID.
