Save a Life During PAWS Adopt-a-thon (Photos)

PAWS Chicago kicks off a 36-hour holiday adoption event this morning. Find out where and when you can participate and peruse the attached photo gallery for a preview of the furry friends that will be available.

This holiday season, you can save a life.

That's the idea behind the PAWS Chicago 36-Hour Holiday Adopt-a-Thon, which starts at 11 a.m. Friday and doesn't wrap up until 11 p.m. on Saturday.

Hundreds of cats, dogs, kittens and puppies in need of warm, loving homes will be available to adopt at the life-saving event. It's hosted right here in Lincoln Park at the PAWS Chicago Adoption Center, 1997 N. Clybourn Ave.
