Center Riley Holzapfel and the Wolves have teamed up with the City of Chicago's Department of Animal Care and Control to help find loving families for dogs.
Visit "HOLZY'S HOUNDS" in the East lobby of the Allstate Arena during select games and take home a furry friend! Prospective owners are required to go through a screening process and pay a $65 fee, which includes spaying or neutering, all vaccinations, a Chicago pet license and a Wolves dog collar.
The Chicago Department for Animal Care and Control Animobile
The Animobile is a free and convenient mobile adoption unit, as well as a top-drawer, modern clinic staffed by veterinarians and adoption pros. It is air-conditioned and heated for year-round use, and can hold up to 25 dogs and cats at one time.
Provided by the Chicago Wolves and City of Chicago's Department of Animal Care & Control (ACC), the Animobile will be traveling around the city to help decrease the number of stray animals. Please join the Wolves in finding permanent homes for Chicago's homeless dogs.
The Animobile is coming to your neighborhood!
The Chicago Wolves have been partners with ACC in helping homeless dogs for several years. The Wolves not only host Adopt-A-Dog Nights throughout the season, but Wolves Owner Don Levin purchased and donated the Animobile to ACC. To learn more about the ACC, visit their website at: www.Cityofchicago.Org/animalcarecontrol
Bring your animal to the free traveling spay/neuter and adoption clinic for Chicago area pets.

"Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) is charged with the responsibility of rescuing tens of thousands of lost and homeless animals, and animals suffering from cruelty, neglect and indifference. In additon, we are the only shelter in Chicago that has an "open door" policy--- meaning that we accept any animal at any time for any reason, 365 days per year."
– Animal Care and Control Mission Statement
Animal care and control statistics:
CACC rescues and provides veterinary care, food, water and shelter to more than 24,000 animals every year. In 2008, of those 24,000 animals: 2,300 were adopted to homes, 4,300 were transferred to rescue groups and 1,300 were redeemed to their owners.
These numbers reflect the urgent need to find safe, loving homes for abandoned animals in our community.
