March 30, 2011 - PRLog -- Animal Care League (Oak Park), Naperville Area Humane Society and TAILS Humane Society (DeKalb) have partnered to help save the lives of homeless animals through the coordination of transport of animals from rural areas to Chicago.  Now these three organizations are taking another step by joining forces for an adoption event on April 9 and April 10, 2011, at the PetSmart store located at 976 N. Route 59, Aurora, Illinois.

This adoption event, sponsored by PetSmart Charities, will take place both Saturday, April 9 and Sunday, April 10, beginning at 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. each day.  There will be many homeless cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens onsite and ready for new homes.

“Naperville Area Humane Society is proud to partner with ACL and TAILS in order to bring greater awareness to the many wonderful homeless pets available for adoption through our organizations,” said Angie Wood, executive director of Naperville Area Humane Society.
“It is our goal to collectively facilitate 50 adoptions at this event,” said Beth Drake, executive director for TAILS Humane Society.
