DeKALB – TAILS Humane Society is partnering with PETCO to save the lives of up to 150 dogs and puppies from overcrowded shelters in Oklahoma and is asking area residents to provide foster homes for some of the animals.

PETCO has provided space for TAILS to have two adoption events Oct. 27 and 28 at PETCO stores in Schaumburg and Elmhurst, but the dogs must be cared for from the day they arrive Oct. 12 through the last day of the event Oct. 28.

TAILS can be reached at 815-758-2457. Residents can indicate what breed, size and age of dog they would be willing to foster, as a variety will be available.
