Boo!

Autumn is upon us. The leaves are changing, the temperature is dropping, it's getting VERY windy, and Best Friends Windy City is decorating the center for Halloween! We're all so wild about the holidays, and so excited to "dress the center up" for the festivities! We're also planning our Halloween Spook-tacular daycare party, and a Halloween-themed meetup group!


The daycare party will be on Halloween, October 31st, and will feature costume contests, the ever-popular "bobbing for hot dogs" and other fun games! The meetup will happen at our center, 1628 N. Elston Ave., on Saturday, October 20, at 11:30 A.M. It will feature all the same stuff, and we expect it to run until about 12:30-ish. You see, we love dogs. That should be obvious. But maybe even more than we love dogs, we love dogs in costumes! So, please throw us a bone (pun intended!) and bring your dog in a costume (or not in a costume) to one or both of these events so that he or she can have a good time and maybe win some goodies! Thanks! For more information about the meetup, or to RSVP, please click here.

In other news, our Dog Day Festival was a success! Turn-out was great, and everybody had a good time! Lake Shore Animal Shelter brought some of their adoptable pets out to meet the crowds; Canine Good Citizen testing, training demonstrations and games were going on, and we got lots of photos! We'll be posting those within the next few days, so stay tuned!

Also within the next few days, we will add updates on our August Employee of the Month, our September and October Dogs of the Month, and some trainer biographies, so keep an eye out for those! Thanks!
