Chicago Wolves News Release
The Chicago Wolves will host Chicago's Department of Animal Care and Control (ACC) Adopt-a-Dog Program at their home opener at the Allstate Arena on Sat., Oct. 13, when they face the Milwaukee Admirals at 7 p.m. The team has helped find homes for more than 600 dogs the past six seasons through the program.
Fans interested in adopting a dog can visit "Brian's Barking Buddies" - named after Wolves defenseman Brian Sipotz, who is a team spokesman for the program - in the East Lobby by the customer service booth on Saturday.
"We are thrilled to be partnered with Pedigree and the ACC this season to promote dog adoption," said Executive Director of Operations Courtney Mahoney. "This program is one of our most unique community events and we are happy we can continue helping dogs find good homes again this year. We're also very pleased to have Brian returning as the team spokesman for a program that is near and dear to him."
The Wolves became involved with the program through the team's Chairman of the Board Don Levin, who has adopted pets from similar programs. In 2003, Levin purchased and donated the Animobile, a mobile adoption unit and modern clinic staffed by veterinarians and adoption specialists.
The dogs will be available for adoption throughout the game. Prospective owners must go through a screening process and pay a $65 fee, which includes spaying or neutering, all vaccinations and a Chicago license for their new pet. People who do not live in Chicago will be charged a $54.50 fee, which does not include a pet license. Puppies less than three months old and too young for the rabies vaccination can be adopted for a reduced rate.
