Mum sale to benefit Save-A-Pet

GRAYSLAKE – Save-A-Pet is hosting its annual Fall Mum Sale. The event kicked off Aug. 15 and online orders will be taken through noon Sept. 6.

Mums are being sold in 9-inch pots (the size of 2-gallon-size plants) and are available in shades of yellow, red, purple, orange and white.

Mum orders can be picked up at Save-A-Pet, 31664 N. Fairfield Road in Grayslake, from 9:30 a.m. to noon Sept. 28. It will be a contactless pickup with Save-A-Pet volunteers placing the mums directly into the buyer’s car.

“This has always been a very successful fundraiser that tremendously helps our rescue. We’re hoping to be able to reach even a larger audience this year to raise as much money as possible for our animals in need,” development manager Stacy Ellington said in a news release.

Each mum costs $18. All proceeds go directly to the care of the dogs and cat of Save-A-Pet. There will be no on-site sales.
