Will County seeks dog photos for 2021 calendar

The Forest Preserve District of Will County is seeking dog park patrons’ pups to be photographed and featured in a 2021 calendar that will benefit the Will County Humane Society. The deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m. Aug. 19. For details on the application process, go to www.WillCountyDogs.org.

This is the second year the forest preserve district is creating a dog park calendar. The 2020 calendar highlighted some of the most photogenic pups to patronize the district’s six dog parks. The calendar also featured dogs that have been helped by the humane society, including Woodie the Wonder Pup, who was found abandoned after his back paws were severed but placed in a loving home by the shelter.

Sales of the 2020 dog park calendar netted almost $6,000 for the humane society, which is the oldest no-kill shelter in Will County and runs solely on donations. Calendars will be sold for $15 online at www.WillCountyDogs.org via preorders from Aug. 17 through Nov. 13. Orders will be shipped the week of Nov. 30 to ensure they are received in time for the holidays.
