Did you know....
...the weather channel has a whole entire section just for pet related weather info?
You'll find info including the best time of day to walk your specific dog (you can put in your pet's size, hair length, and age), understanding your dog's alergies, and even a flea activity map!
How cool is that!?

New Month, New Update - No April Fools!
Lets welcome April in with a new Employee of the Month!
Janet can always be found doing whatever needs to be done. Don't let that you can usually find her behind the desk in the mornings fool you, she even works in the kennel! Her pup's name is Thrasher and is a typical beagle - full of love and looking for treats!
Come meet Janet and at our next daycare party - the Spring Fling on April 16th! We'll have games, prizes, treats, and of course the photo to stick on the "I Love My Dog" wall! Don't be ashamed, we all have one!Thursday, March 26, 2009
John was right - "All we need is love"
Are you looking for a little love in your life? Maybe the kind that has four paws and wagging tail? Let us introduce you to the newest adoptable pups!
Rocky
Rocky is a shephard/lab mix. He's about 8 and is great around other dogs. He enjoys cats, but is a little too playful for them. Rocky would be a great addition to a family with kids as well!
Sarah
Sarah is a beagle full of about 6 years of love! She gets along great with all sorts for four-legged and two-legged friends.
Both Rocky and Sarah are currently with a foster family. Please call Windy City at 773.384.5959 or Lake Shore Animal Shelter at 312.409.1162 with questions or for more information.
