Angels with Tails | PAWS Chicago

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

Noon–4 p.m. on Sunday, July 14. 

Back in 1997, 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 chalk art, 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!
