The Northbrook Park District is partnering with the nonprofit Wright-Way-Rescue to host “Pup-Lick Skate,” a special public skate and puppy adoption event on Saturday.
Representatives of Wright-Way Rescue will be on site with puppies available for adoption from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. outside the pool entrance at Northbrook Sports Center, according to a news release.
People can stop by to learn more about adoption opportunities on their way to and from the Sports Center’s public skate hours, which run from 10:40 a.m. to 12:10 p.m.
This is the first such event at the Sports Center, Recreation Supervisor Bridgette Sterba said in the release.
“It will be a great way to incorporate awareness about the need for pet adoption in a friendly and fun environment,” she said. “We are also collecting donations for Wright-Way-Rescue because they need supplies to continue their good work.”
The release said Rescuing cats and dogs, Wright-Way-Rescue is based in Morton Grove. The nonprofit is very excited to be partnering with Northbrook Park District for Saturday’s adoption event, said its representative Rochelle Michalek.
“Summer is a wonderful time to add a new furry friend to your family! With the beautiful weather and your children home from school, it is a great time to adopt a homeless animal,” she said in the release.
