Chicago Wolves News Release
The Chicago Wolves will host Chicago's Department of Animal Care and Control (ACC) Adopt-a-Dog Program at the Allstate Arena on Sat., Nov. 19, when they face the Milwaukee Admirals at 7 p.m. The game marks the ACC's second of at least seven visits this season.
The Wolves have helped find homes for nearly 375 dogs the past four seasons. This year, the organization is aiming to find homes for 100 more.
Fans interested in adopting a dog can visit "Karl's K-9's" - named after Wolves left wing Karl Stewart, who is a team spokesman for the program - in the East Lobby by the customer service booth on Saturday.
The Wolves became involved with the program through the team's Chairman of the Board Don Levin, who has adopted pets from similar programs, including ACC. In 2003, Levin purchased and donated the Animobile, a mobile adoption unit and modern clinic staffed by veterinarians and adoption specialists.
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 $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.
