Events
Meet our fabulous adoptable dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens in person at any of the below adoption events in the greater Chicago and DuPage County area. You can get a jump start on your dog or cat adoption by completing our online adoption application before the event.
If you are pre-approved to adopt a pet, adoptions can take place at these events or at the Wheaton or Darien PetSmart Adoption Centers at a mutually-agreed upon time.
