Wolves Host Doggone Good Time
December 12, 2002 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Chicago Wolves News Release
The Chicago Wolves will host Chicago's Department of Animal Care and Control (ACC) Adopt-a-Dog Program sponsored by PETsMART at the Allstate Arena on Sat., Dec. 14, when they face the Milwaukee Admirals at 7 p.m. The game marks the third of at least eight visits this season.
The Wolves have helped find homes for nearly 75 percent of the dogs that have been available this season, including all 30 dogs on Oct. 12, the first visit of the year, to make the program a success. Last season nearly 100 dogs were adopted through the program, and the Wolves and ACC are looking to double that number this season.
Fans interested in adopting a dog can visit "Dally's Dog Pound"  named after Wolves defenseman Dallas Eakins, who has a black Labrador retriever named Jack and is a team spokesman for the program  in the East Lobby by the Customer Service Booth.
Dogs brought to each of the selected dates will be available for adoption throughout the game. Prospective owners must go through a screening process and pay a $56.50 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.
The ACC's off-site adoption program, implemented less than two years ago, has placed more than 160 dogs. The Wolves became involved with this program through the team¹s Chairman of the Board/Governor Don Levin, who has adopted pets from similar programs, including ACC.
