CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago Animal Care and Control is celebrating St. Patrick's Day by waiving pet adoption fees this weekend.

The city's animal control service is waiving fees for dogs and cats 6 months and older, as well as for bonded pairs, on March 14-15. They're also bringing in extra matchmakers to help you find your furry best friend.

"We have so many wonderful dogs and cats waiting for new homes," said Acting Executive Director Mamadou Diakhate. "We can't wait to see all the lucky new pets and people who will find each other this weekend."

CACC will be open for adoptions from 12-6 p.m. all weekend.
