Joan Esposito is joined by Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza, who talked about the "Dog Days of Summer" social media campaign that features cats, dogs, and other animals in need of forever homes. It kicked off last month and runs each Tuesday through Labor Day. The effort, in its second year, features pets available for adoption from shelters around the state who are looking for a new family. It operates in conjunction with the Comptroller's Critters program, which features an online database of participating shelters around the state and resources for pet adoption and care.
