Three dogs rescued from the South Korean meat trade and one from a Florida shelter overwhelmed by dogs displaced by Hurricane Ian arrived Friday at Anderson Humane in South Elgin.
An Illinois shelter has a unique idea about how to keep the spirits of the dogs they care for up. Sometimes they provide what they call a fun sleepover with a volunteer so the animals get the feeling of what it's like to be in a home again. New video shows what happened when a dog they have had for more than 100 days did this.
Fall-themed family entertainment is what the 37th annual Scarecrow Weekend is all about. The St. Charles Business Alliance will bring the popular fall festival back to downtown St. Charles from Friday, Oct. 7 through Sunday, Oct. 9.
On Oct. 26, Mooseheart Child City & School will take down a tree housing the nest of a bald eagle pair. The pine tree has been dying for years, creating a dangerous situation for the eagles and the eaglets they raise in their nest every spring.
It s prime time for Oktoberfests in the suburbs. Plus, there s fun to be had at Huntley Fall Fest, Fall on the Farm at Lambs Farm, Big Timber Brew Fest, Johnny Appleseed Festival, Berwyn Blues Festival and many more.
