Adopt-A-Palooza to Feature Mistreated Glencoe Dogs

A Winnetka grocery store is hosting a pet adoption event this weekend that will feature some of the dogs saved from a Glencoe home in May.

Grand Food Center, 606 Green Bay Road will host Adopt-A-Palooza from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, according to the Winnetka Talk.

Pet vendors will hand out samples, music will be all “dog-themed” and an Evanston artist will draw caricatures of their dogs in exchange for a donation to Tails of Hope, a Highland Park shelter where many of the dogs found covered in feces and matted fur in a Glencoe home were taken.

Glencoe resident and attorney Jeanne Harper was charged with mistreatment of companion animals when authorities found 39 malnourished dogs in the home most recently owned by her on Greenwood Avenue.

Five dogs had to be euthanized, 17 have since been adopted and Harper was allowed to keep one dog.

Another 17 dogs, mostly between 2-5 years old, are still seeking new families.
