The office of state Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel is partnering with the Plainfield Area Public Library and the office of Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant to host a pet rescue event Saturday.

The Will County Rescue Rally & Pet Expo will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Clow Stephens Park, 16676 S. Lily Cache Road in Plainfield.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their owns pets along and to potentially adopt a new family friend while enjoying a day of pet-friendly activities.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for shelter animals to get the attention they deserve while also getting families out for some fun,” Loughran Cappel, D-Shorewood, said in a statement. “And who knows, maybe at the end of the day you will go home with a new furry friend.”

Aside from animal rescue organizations the event will feature pet vendors, food trucks, giveaways, a pet parade and a pet-themed story walk. Attendance is free, and registration is not necessary for the event.

“This is a fun weekend event to bring the family and celebrate the joy that pets bring to our lives, along with spotlighting rescue animals looking for a new home,” Bertino-Tarrant said. “I appreciate the opportunity to work again with Sen. Loughran Cappel, the Plainfield Park District and the Plainfield Area Public Library on this annual rally and expo.”
