More Happy Endings at Portage Park's Dog Adoption Events

Animal Care and Control had their second adoption event on Sunday July 15th at Portage Park. Despite the hot weather, it was a fun and successful day. Thanks to the efforts of ACC, Chicago Park District, Portage Park Animal Hospital, Farmers Market and Dog Friendly Area volunteers, five dogs were adopted.

One of the dogs adopted had been at Animal Care and Control for almost a year. It happens often that dogs who had been overlooked at the shelter find their new families as a result of an adoption event.

Please save the dates for our upcoming events. They will be held on August 5th and 19th, and September 5th, in conjunction with Portage Park Farmers Markets, from 10am to 2pm. Please look for our tent and the dogs wearing orange signs that say Adopt Me. Our furry stray and abandoned friends will be eagerly waiting for their new forever homes. We look forward to seeing you there!

Up Coming Events July 15th, August 5th, August 19th, and September 16th!

Our dog adoption day provided a great opportunity to meet stray and abandoned dogs from the city pound looking for loving homes. Dogs are all spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, temperament tested, and eager to be someone's new best friend. Thanks to the efforts of the Portage Park District, Portage Park Animal Hospital volunteers, and dedicated community members, the adoption event was a huge success!!! Half of the dogs at the event were adopted.

Our upcoming adoption events are July 15th, August 5th, August 19th, and September 16th. But you don't have to wait for an adoption day to adopt a dog. Animal Care and Control is open daily for 12-6 for adoptions. If you are looking for a pet and can provide a good home, please consider giving these shelter dogs a second chance at a happy life.
