To help lower the stray and unwanted animal population, the city's Animal Care and Control Commission is tricking out a 30-foot petmobile to provide free spaying and neutering right there in your neighborhood. The van, donated by Chicago Wolves owner Don Levin, will be up and running once volunteer and staffing issues are sorted out. (Trib login: gapers/gapers)
