Adopt your new best friend during National Adoption Week with Anti-Cruelty and PetSmart Charities. From Monday, July 15–Sunday July 21, 2024, visit one of the Chicago area PetSmart partner stores where animals from Anti-Cruelty are available for adoption. Fees will be waived for all animals on Saturday, July 20. Adoption requirements and process remains the same.

Stay cool with cuddly canines and kittens! Throughout the summer, we’re opening our space to all who need a “cuteness break” with puppies, kittens, and adoptable dogs during the workday. Stop by our shelter on select dates and, for a small donation, you’ll get extra doses of animal affection to get you to the weekend.
