Will County Forest Preserve Dog Calendars Benefit Humane Society
Calendars cost $15 each, and proceeds ($10 from each calendar) will benefit the Will County Humane Society.
WILL COUNTY, IL — If you love animals and are looking for a way to support homeless pets, ordering a 2020 canine calendar from the Forest Preserve District of Will County is the perfect option. The forest preserve said calendars cost $15 each, and proceeds ($10 from each calendar) will benefit the Will County Humane Society.
Calendars can be ordered now through Sunday, Oct. 20. Orders will be shipped the week of Nov. 25 to ensure they are received in time for the holidays. The dogs that will be featured in the calendar are all dogs that romp and play at the forest preserve's dog parks. The calendar will include a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages and stories.
"The dogs that visit Forest Preserve dog parks are lucky, because they have homes and owners who care for and about them," said Laura Kiran, the Forest Preserve's director of marketing and communications. "But not every animal is as fortunate. The calendar initiative is a way to help those pets that are without a loving family to call their own, while also putting our dog park patrons' pets in the spotlight."
