Join us for an adoption event in honor of PetSmart National Adoption Week We’re excited to be part of PetSmart National Adoption Week this March, and we’d love for you to join us! One year is too long to wait. Any animal who has been in our care for over a year will be 50% off their adoption fee during the week (March 23 - 29). Help us give our long-time residents the fresh start they deserve. Come meet some of our adorable adoptable cats who are looking for loving homes! Our team will be on-site to introduce you to these amazing animals, answer questions about adoption, and help you find the perfect match for your family. We may also have a few adoptable dogs stopping by to meet potential adopters, so you never know who you might fall in love with. Adopting a pet is life-changing—for both you and them. Every adoption helps create space for us to rescue more animals in need. What to expect: Meet adoptable cats (and possibly dogs!) Talk with our volunteers about adoption Learn more about fostering and getting involved Find your new best friend Whether you're ready to adopt or just want to stop by and say hello, we’d love to see you there! Give a homeless pet the happily-ever-after they deserve. We will update this event with the list of attending animals a couple of days before the event, so please check back here! You can also email info@sayvanimals.org to ask about specific animals. During PetSmart National Adoption Week (March 23-29), adoption fees are 50% off for animals that have been in our care for one year or more. Learn more here: sayvanimals.org/worththewait

ABOUT THE EVENT Join us for the 4th Annual Sweats for Pets at South Naperville Strength, home of CrossFit Resurgence, as we come together to raise funds and find forever homes for adoptable animals! This year’s event features “The Henry Workout of the Day (WOD),” honoring the late Henry, a cherished pet of a CrossFit Resurgence member and the event’s lead organizer, Katie. Henry’s legacy of love and joy inspires us to make this day one of compassion, community, and maybe a little sweat. HOW IT WORKS From 8am to 12pm, participants will take on their choice of workout—or simply cheer from the sidelines—while we get ready to welcome adoptable pets at 10am. Whether you’re a CrossFit pro, brand new to the sport, or just here for the puppies, there’s a place for you. 3 WAYS TO JOIN Seasoned: Take on the full workout challenge. Scaled: A modified/less intense workout—go solo or team up with a partner. No workout: Skip the sweat, enjoy the animals, and join in on raffles. WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT Expect a fun, high-energy, and heartwarming morning filled with wagging tails, cheering, and community spirit. Every registration and raffle ticket purchased goes directly to SAYv Animal Organization, helping homeless animals find the safe, loving homes they deserve. TICKETS AND REGISTRATION Seasoned and scaled registration: https://tinyurl.com/SweatsForPets4registration No workout: No ticket required—just show up and enjoy! Pro tip: Check back 3–4 days before the event for our updated list of adoptable animals. Come sweat, smile and help us SAYv lives—one workout, one raffle, one adoption at a time.
