Chicago Animal Care & Control hosting fee-waived adoption event this weekend

CHICAGO - Chicago Animal Care & Control (CACC) is holding a special event this weekend to encourage pet adoptions as intake numbers continue to rise.

During the "Adopt an All-Star" event, adoption fees will be waived for all animals.

CACC reports that adoptions have increased by 29% this year, but the shelter remains in need of adopters due to the growing number of animals coming in.

The event will take place on Saturday, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. at CACC’s facility located at 2741 S. Western Avenue.

In addition to adoptions, CACC will offer engaging programs for dog lovers. From 12 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., attendees can participate in Nose Work Programming, where dogs and their adopters will explore the world of canine scent work, and Agility Classes, designed to showcase a dog's ability to run, jump, and navigate obstacles.
