If you were looking to add a lovely dog or cat to your family, today might be the day!
🎸🐾 Pupapalooza Starts in ONE HOUR! 🐾🎸
Today's the day!!!
We're excited to welcome you to Chicago Animal Care and Control for Pupapalooza, where hundreds of amazing dogs and cats will be waiting to meet their future families.
Our volunteers are ready to help you find your perfect match and our talented CACC Sound Sessions musicians will be performing throughout the shelter.
Out of an abundance of caution due to today's air quality conditions, all musical performances will take place indoors in our lobby and pavilions. This change allows us to continue the event while prioritizing the health and safety of our musicians, volunteers, staff, visitors, and, of course, our animals.
🎉 Adoption fees remain waived through July 26 as part of BISSELL Pet Foundation's Empty the Shelters, so there's never been a better time to find your new best friend.
📍 2741 S. Western Ave.
🕛 12:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
🐶 Please leave your personal dogs at home so our staff and volunteers can focus on introducing our shelter dogs to prospective adopters.
Chicago, we're ready for you. Let's make today one to remember and help as many animals as possible find loving homes! ❤️
