48 pets adopted at PAWS Chicago's Angels with Tails event
Chicago families were out Sunday enjoying the sunshine and picking up some new furry friends.
PAWS Chicago hosted its Angels with Tails event Sunday in the Gold Coast. Dozens of puppies and dogs, kittens and cats were placed in 40 storefronts around the neighborhood so that people could stroll along the sidewalk and meet potential new family members.
"It's critical, because people think, 'You know, maybe I won't go to that breeder. Maybe I'll find that homeless animal,' because they are the best pets," said PAWS Chicago founder and chair Paula Fassesas, "and you feel good when you rescue an animal and you save its life — you feel good."
A total of 48 pets found new homes at the event Sunday — 35 through PAWS Chicago, and 13 through the organization's rescue partners.
Several retailers — including Giorgio Armani, 25 E. Oak St., the Talbott Hotel at 20 E. Delaware Pl., and Tod's, 121 E. Oak St. — donated a portion of their sales directly to PAWS Sunday.
PAWS said about 56 animals arrive at Chicago Animal Care & Control every day, so adoption events like the one on Sunday make a big difference.

Cubs President Hints at Potential Trade Deadline Plans
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. With the trade deadline just under two months away, most teams are beginning to understand exactly who they want to target. Players from every position will be moved at the deadline in hopes of helping a team get that one extra piece that they believe can push them over the top. That is exactly how the Chicago Cubs will be approaching the deadline, and after a recent interview appearance by team president Jed Hoyer, it may be clear what Chicago is planning to do at the deadline. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - MAY 06: President Jed Hoyer of the Chicago Cubs looks during batting practice prior to the game against the San Francisco Giants at Wrigley Field on May 06, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - MAY 06: President Jed Hoyer of the Chicago Cubs looks during batting practice prior to the game against the San Francisco Giants at Wrigley Field on May 06, 2025 in Chicago, spoke to reporters before Chicago's May 27 game against the Colorado Rockies and gave this response when asked what the teams plan would be heading toward the trade deadline. "To quote our manager, we just need to get outs, you know?" Hoyer said Tuesday, per Marquee Sports Network. "And so we have to figure that out, whether it's the beginning of the game or the end of the game. (Our depth has) been tested, and we have to assume that that's not going to stop, that we'll continue to be tested. We have to continue to find depth where we can find it." It is no surprise the plan is to acquire pitching help, as the Cubs currently rank 14th in team ERA at 3.84 and 23rd in Wins Above Average from pitchers at minus-2.2 this season. Where is Chicago going to look for the pitching help at? Hoyer also answered that question during his sitdown with the media. "Ultimately, it is going to be somewhat sellers' market dependent," he said, per Marquee Sports Network. "If there's none of one of those things available, you have to zag a little bit, and you have to be prepared to do that. And that could be the nature of this market." With the club off to its best start since the 2016 season, it is instrumental that Hoyer and the rest of the front office make moves that help the Cubs win the NL Central and get back to the postseason for the first time since 2020.
