PAWS Chicago and the Chicago Cubs Team Up for a Home Run Adoption Event

A Day of Smiles, Snuggles, and Second Chances at Gallagher Way

For the third consecutive year, PAWS Chicago and the Chicago Cubs partnered to host a heartwarming adoption event at Gallagher Way, just steps from Wrigley Field.

Presented by INABA Churu, the event featured adorable PAWS dogs, puppies, and kittens—all hoping to hit a home run and find loving forever homes before the Cubs faced off against the Kansas City Royals. Attendees had the chance to meet, cuddle, and play with the adoptable pets while learning more about how to support PAWS Chicago’s lifesaving mission.

The fun didn’t stop there. Guests enjoyed complimentary Home Run Inn pizza, refreshing Coca-Cola beverages, and free pet treats from INABA Churu. New adopters received a special care package as a token of appreciation from both PAWS Chicago and the Cubs.

Adding to the excitement, PAWS Chicago was honored on the field before the game—and one lucky adoptable pup even got to throw out the ceremonial first pitch!

A portion of the evening’s ticket sales benefited PAWS Chicago, helping to support the shelter’s ongoing efforts to save homeless pets and connect them with families across Chicagoland.
