Your favorite Winnetka shops are opening their storefronts and windows to adoptable pets! 

Noon–4 p.m. on Saturday, September 28. 

Back in 1996, PAWS Chicago founders Paula and Alexis Fasseas and a group of passionate volunteers brought stray pets from Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC), the city impoundment facility, to storefronts across Gold Coast, and it launched a movement—Angels with Tails, a homeless pet adoption event for the whole community. Your favorite boutiques will open their storefronts to adoptable dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. Bring the whole family for this fun-filled community event where you can meet—and adopt—adorable animals, shop for a cause, enjoy special festivities, and score free dog treats!

Mark your calendars now and make sure you don't miss the pet-friendly festivities during the event brought to you by some of our participating storefronts!  

Event Festivities:

  • Athene: PAWS Chicago window display
  • Christian Science Reading Room: Special display for aimal devotions
  • Evereve: 15% of sales donated to PAWS Chicago
  • J. McLaughlin: PAWS Chicago window display & 15% of sales donated to PAWS Chicago

It’s going to be a great day for a great cause!
