The Chicago Wolves hockey organization has long been a champion for dogs in need, and to start 2025 off on the right paw, they took their commitment to the next level. On January 18 and 19, the Wolves hosted one of their most impactful charitable initiatives yet at Allstate Arena—an Animal Adoption Awareness event that combined the thrill of hockey with the heartwarming mission of dog rescue.
In a powerful show of support for animal welfare, the Chicago Wolves took to the ice wearing exclusive Animal Adoption Awareness jerseys presented by Campfire Marshmallows. These one-of-a-kind jerseys not only highlighted the importance of pet adoption but also served as a crucial fundraising tool to benefit local shelters.

A Legacy of Rescue: The Wolves’ Adopt-A-Dog Program
The Wolves’ passion for animal welfare isn’t new. Through their long-running Adopt-A-Dog Program, the team has helped countless dogs find their forever homes. During one Saturday home game per month, the Wolves partner with local shelters to introduce adoptable dogs to their fans. The impact has been remarkable—over 1,800 dogs have been adopted through this initiative, with a record-breaking 27 adoptions in just the past month!

How You Can Still Help
