CHICAGO — You can adopt a dog for free Saturday at PAWS Chicago.

PAWS, the city’s largest no-kill animal shelter, is hosting the Fall in Love event to find homes for dogs in need. Any dog 7 months or older will have its adoption fees waived.

Normal adoption rules will still apply. Information about adopting is available online.

The event is 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday at the Lincoln Park Adoption Center, 1997 N. Clybourn Ave.

Here are a few of the pooches you could adopt:

Brett

Brett, a 10-month-old boxer, loves spending time outdoors.

Agnes

Agnes, a 3-year-old terrier mix, can be shy at first but warms up to people.
