Lemont Animal Rescue To Host Pop-Up Pet Adoption Event In Romeoville

LEMONT, IL — A Lemont animal rescue will be hosting a pop-up pet adoption event this weekend that organizers hope will encourage residents to welcome new pets into their homes as a way of assisting local shelters.

Ruby Whiskers Pet Rescue will host the pop-up event, which will be held from 12-4 p.m. on Sunday at Blain’s Farm and Fleet, which is located at 451 S. Weber Road in Romeoville. A list of the adoptable pets that will be available can be found by clicking here.

The mission of Ruby Whiskers organization is to provide a voice to those who do not have one and to help provide love, care and shelter to animals who have either never received proper care or have lost it, organizers said.

Ruby Whiskers is dedicated to rescuing, vetting, and rehoming animals from shelters and other abandoned situations. The shelter is volunteer-run and supported by foster families and sponsors. The goal of the facility is to provide the necessary veterinary care, grooming, and love while finding them forever homes.

Successful Ruby Whisker adoptions depend on multiple and strong relationships with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, and trainers, organizers aid. Through these relationships, the Lemont rescue facility will be able to rescue hundreds of animals every year, provide them with loving temporary care, and find them carefully matched forever homes.
