Chicago Shelter’s Water-Themed Adoption Event | Chicago News

Chicago’s Animal Care and Control is turning up the fun this Saturday with their second annual “Care & Water Show” — a splashy, adoption-packed event waiving all fees to help hundreds of cats and dogs find forever homes. Inspired by last year’s 16% adoption spike in August, this event is part of a bigger “Clear the Shelters” campaign and follows July’s successful “Pupapalooza.” With rising pet costs and landlord fees pushing owners to surrender pets, the shelter’s offering food aid and festive water-themed activities like sprinklers and beach balls to make adoption joyful. Over 50 volunteers — many teachers who’ve just wrapped up school — are on hand to match pets with families, ensuring every animal leaves vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. It’s a heartwarming, high-energy day where happy tails are guaranteed. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
