Adoptable Pets of the Week

By Kevin Robinson in Miscellaneous on Nov 24, 2010 7:00PM

Heading into Thanksgiving, shelter pets in Cook County have something special to be thankful for this year: the Wilmette Pet Center, at 625 Green Bay Rd. in Wilmette is now offering shelter pets for adoption right in the store.

This week we've got Garfield and Katie, Rudy, Lucky and Max. And don't forget, if you don't see a pet you love here, there are still lots of dogs and cats at Chicago's Animal Care and Control that still haven't been adopted - you can check them all out here. If you got space in your home and room in your heart, won't you consider adopting one of these wonderful pets from Chicago's Animal Care and Control?

The adoption fee is $65.00 which includes spay/neuter, vaccines, a microchip and a city license, and all cats are screened for FIV. If you have room in your heart and your home for these pets, Chicago Animal Care & Control, at 2741 S. Western Ave in Chicago, is open for adoptions Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. You can visit in person, are call or email Patty Cerny, adoption volunteer, at (773) 230-2542 or email at graz97 [at] aol [dot] com.

If you want to keep up with goings on at ACC, become a fan of Cherie Travis, Chicago Commissioner of Animal Care and Control on Facebook.

And remember: plenty of the previous animals we've featured are also still available for adoption.
