Libertyville literally is going to the dogs for 4 days starting on Thursday, July 11th and runs through Sunday, July 14th. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to bring your furry companions everywhere because that’s exactly what YOU can do! Stores, streets and parks are pet-friendly and ready to graciously greet up-to-date family dogs and cats that come out to see the town dolled up just for them. Bring them along while you dine at one of the pet-friendly outdoor patios such as Egg Harbor Cafe, Mickey Finns or 545 North Bar & Grill. Get ready to participate in a myriad of competitions or watch DockDogs Big Air Jumping contests at the X-Treme Dog Park where dogs compete on a 40′ dock with a 27,000 gallon, 20′ x 40′ pool. Feel like Fido is up to the challenge? Then preregister your courageous dog ahead of time. Or just take the kids and furbabies on a slow walk among the many educational and entertainment booths sprinkled around Cook’s Park. Meet a variety of animals and animal rescue groups, competent animal trainers and teachers, a variety of vendors, entertainers, food, music, and activities galore with YOUR family and pet in mind. Set aside time to enjoy all that Libertyville has to offer.
Wagging Hearts is participating in Dog Days of Summer with a proudly displayed booth in Cook’s Park just waiting to meet the many people and their companion pets that come out to play. Join us for lots of laughs, cuddles and fun on Saturday, July 13th and Sunday, July 14th from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We will have Homemade HushPuppy Treats and Bodacious Bandanas for Bucks with all proceeds being directed toward the medical care of our rescues. Don’t miss our Precious Puppies Pen and meet the littlest lives saved. Or how about seeing our Adorable Adoptables up close and personal? They are waiting to make a love connection, searching for forever homes of their very own. We will be ready with volunteers and supporters ready to answer questions or just pass the time with laughs. Fill out an adoption, foster or volunteer application while at our booth. Or just stop by and let us know how your ‘Dog Days’ experience is going. Can’t wait to see you there!!

We saw the impact of forever homes over the last couple days and could not stop the smiles from growing as the forever love kept spreading. We may save them but forever love comes along to provide each one with a sense of being, a sense of purpose. The love one receives from a rescue animal in immeasurable. It unfolds like a river carving out a history made only for those that travel along the waters. Its depths are boundless and the love that all experience is truly unbelievable.
