WHEN: Friday, June 2, 2023 12:00pm
WHERE: Richard J. Daley Center | 50 W. Washington | Suite 1203
DETAILS: The City of Chicago takes in thousands of unwanted animals every year. CACC protects public safety and ensures the humane care of animals through sheltering, pet placement and education. The PBC is helping to increase awareness about the CACC’s immediate need for supplies and to promote the great animals who are available for adoption. CACC staff will be at the Daley Plaza to accept donated pet supplies and further boost awareness of adoptable pets.
“Studies have shown that pets can decrease stress, improve health and even help children with their emotional and social skills,” Carina E. Sanchez, PBC’s Executive Director said. “As a pet owner, I know firsthand the joy animals can bring to your life and we at the PBC are honored to partner with CACC to find great homes and give these pets the opportunity to become beloved.”
Individuals who are unavailable to attend the fashion show can support through the CACC Amazon Wish List https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/cacc/supp_info/wish_list.html
