For three decades, the West Suburban Humane Society has been hosting the Barkapalooza: a fundraiser to help bring homes to animals in need throughout the Chicagoland area.

Over 500 people gather yearly for the 5K, the Waggin’ Tails Walk, the pet costume parade, and more.

The event is a chance for both pups and their humans to socialize, support a good cause, and help some furry friends find their forever homes.

Other rescue groups and nonprofits joined the fun to help microchip pets in need, provide necessary grooming, and share resources for any current or future dog parents.
