FINDING FOREVER HOMES ON JULY 23, 2016

Animal shelters across the country are teaming up with NBC and Telemundo stations to find loving homes for pets in need.
The second annual Clear the Shelters event, a nationwide pet adoption initiative, will be held July 23. More than 400 shelters in 20 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico will waive or discount fees as part of the one-day adoption drive. The goal is to #ClearTheShelters by finding forever homes for as many animals as possible. Over 19,000 pets were adopted during last year’s event, but millions more remain homeless. Every year, 7.6 million animals end up in shelters nationwide — and only 2.7 million are adopted, according to the ASPCA.

As a transfer partner, many of ACL's adoptable animals are pulled from CACC each year.  This year, on July 23rd, ACL will pack up our adoption team and volunteers to help clear out one of the area's largest open-admissions shelters.  In addition to facilitating adoptions at 2741 S. Western, many animals at our shelter at 1011 Garfield will also have 1 day sponsorships* in celebration of this initiative.

Come out to find your new best friend, win prizes, visit with sponsors, get training tips from ACL's training team and more!

Visit us on Facebook for more information and a preview of the animals that will be available for adoption.  

*Please note that all interested adopters will be subject to completing adoption paperwork, screening and will be required to meet all adoption qualifications.  Animal Care League reserves the right to deny any adoption.
*Please note that although we will not be fully taking part in the waived adoptions from 11-4 at Animal Care League in Oak Park, many animals will have their fees sponsored by donors for that day.  All adoption paperwork, screening and approval will still be required.
