ADOOT DONT SHOP!! SAVE A LIFE!
🚨 BIG NEWS: Fee-Waived Adoptions All August! 🐶🐱
Chicago Animal Care and Control is proud to once again participate in Clear the Shelters, a nationwide adoption campaign led by NBC and Telemundo. From August 1st through August 31st, ALL adoption fees will be waived at CACC! ❤️
Every adoption still includes our standard screening process to ensure the best possible match, waiving fees doesn't mean lowering standards. In fact, here's what the research shows:
✅ A Maddie’s Fund study found that 93% of dogs and 95% of cats adopted during fee-waived events were still in their homes 6–12 months later.
✅ The ASPCA and Humane Society report that pets adopted with waived fees are no more likely to be returned than pets adopted with fees.
✅ These pets also receive the same level of veterinary care and love as those adopted with fees.
Removing adoption fees during these events doesn’t reduce the quality of homes. ❤
📍 2741 S Western Ave, Chicago IL
🕛 Daily Adoption Hours: 12 p.m. – 7 p.m.
🚪 Please arrive by 5:30 p.m. if you're ready to adopt!
Let’s work together to Clear the Shelters and give every pet the home they deserve. 💙
