To our Retail Partners in Roscoe Village,

After three long years, PAWS Chicago is excited to announce the return of Roscoe Village's Angels with Tails Adoption Event on Sunday, October 23rd between noon and 4 pm. 

The event will be held the same day as the Roscoe Village Neighbors' Halloween Block Party. Angels with Tails will partner with merchants located on Roscoe from Hoyne to Oakley. The Block Party will take place on Roscoe between Damen and Hoyne.

PAWS Chicago will host the Angels with Tails Adoption Event joined by local rescue groups and shelters, lining the streets to showcase adorable homeless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens among the coolest shops and stores in ‘the village within the city’. This event helps drive awareness of the wonderful adoptable pets that are available at shelters throughout Chicagoland - and many will find homes that day.

Hundreds of residents, professionals and customers attend Angels with Tails each year to show their support for homeless animals, with media outlets covering the festivities. Not only does this event offer a chance to find homes for adoptable pets, but Angels with Tails raises public awareness around euthanasia and pet homelessness in Chicago.

Since the inception of the signature Angels with Tails events in 1997, PAWS has found homes for over 6,000 dogs and cats at these events. We hope that your store will participate in this year’s life-saving event, by agreeing to the following:
  • Use of your sidewalk to showcase dogs and/or space inside to showcase cats.
  • Angels with Tails signage to be placed in your window, indicating the assigned shelter.
To participate, please complete the following survey questions by Friday, September 30th. 

Information related to the day of event logistics:
  • On the day of the event, the rescues/shelters will start setting up at approximately 11am and will be ready to greet visitors by 11:45am.
  • All animals will be handled exclusively by rescue/shelter representatives.
  • If you are hosting cats, the kitty crates will be delivered Sunday morning immediately before the event.
  • Each participating business will have a window sign, provided by PAWS Chicago, that notes the name of the rescue/shelter at your location.
  • Event promotional materials will be distributed prior to and on the day of the event.
  • PAWS Chicago may place a supply bin within your location the day of the event. We will inform you ahead of time if this is the case.

Please reach us at angelswithtails@pawschicago.org with any questions. We hope that you will continue to help us raise awareness for homeless pets by participating in this event.  Thank you again for your support and we look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Paula Fasseas
Founder and Chair
