36-Hours to Save Lives – PAWS Chicago’s Holiday Adopt-A-Thon

Mini with her new family!

On Friday, December 2, PAWS Chicago kicked off its 36-Hour Holiday Adopt-A-Thon which featured homeless cats, dogs, kittens and puppies in need of loving homes. By the close of the event, which continued until 11:00 p.m. on December 3, 124 pets met their new families and received a fresh start at life.

We appreciate everyone who came for the event and opened up their heart and home to a homeless pet. Thanks also goes out to the volunteers who made this terrific event happen and enabled so many pets to find homes!
