Wolves promote puppy love
March 6, 2007 - 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 at the Allstate Arena on Sat., March 10, when they face the Milwaukee Admirals at 7 p.m. The team has helped find homes for nearly 600 dogs the past five 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.
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.
For more information, call 1-800-THE-WOLVES or contact ACC at 312-747-1380.
