Pets for Vets Adoption Day

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Pets for Vets Adoption Day is an expression of gratitude to the men and women who served our Country to preserve the freedoms we all enjoy on a daily basis.

On Saturday, Illinois State Comptroller Susana A. Mendoza through her program Comptroller's Critters, in collaboration with Fifth Third Bank and Bunker Labs, will host an all-day pet adoption at various shelters throughout Illinois.

Any veteran that walks into one of the designated shelters and adopts a cat and/or dog, will have the adoption fee waived due to the generosity of our participating sponsors.
