🎉 Wags and Whiskers in the Park – Back for Round Two! 🐾
📅 September 20th | 📍 Central Park, Elmwood, Illinois
Wags and Whiskers in the Park
Join us for our second annual Wags and Whiskers in the Park event — a heartwarming day dedicated to raising funds and finding forever homes for deserving pets in need. This special day brings together animal lovers, local rescues, and community vendors for a celebration filled with joy, compassion, and plenty of wagging tails!
🐶 Our Mission
We’re teaming up with local rescues like Grafelman Farms Rescue, a foster-based dog and cat rescue serving Central Illinois. Their mission says it all:
Home the unwanted. Heal the neglected. Give hope to the mistreated. Every adoption helps change a life — and we can’t wait to help as many pets as possible find their perfect families.
🎨 Activities for All Ages
While you’re meeting adorable adoptables, enjoy a variety of fun-filled activities including:
- Face painting for kids
- Pet photo contest
- Trivia challenges
- Ink paw print keepsakes
- And more surprises!
🛍️ Vendors Wanted!
We’re inviting local businesses, artisans, and service providers to join us as vendors! The more vendors we have, the bigger the crowd — and the more chances we have to get pets into loving homes.
Interested in becoming a vendor? Email us at [email protected] for more details and how to sign up.
✨ Don’t Miss Out
Whether you’re looking to adopt, support animal welfare, or just spend a day in the park surrounded by furry friends and friendly faces — this is the event for you.
Let’s make this year’s event even bigger and better. We hope to see you (and your four-legged friends) there!
Thank you to all the clients who visited at the Elmwood Christmas Walk and the Williamsfield Winterfest. We really enjoy seeing you all and participating in these annual community events. Wishing all our clients a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
Wags and Whiskers staff took part in the annual Elmwood and Williamsfield Trunk or Treat events dressed as the cast of Charlotte’s Web. We always enjoy seeing all the kids in their costumes. Here are some pics from that event and some of our office Halloween fun!
A huge THANK YOU to all of our vendors and rescues who participated in our First Annual Wags and Whiskers in the Park. Thank you to clients and vendors who made donations as well as to the community for participating in our event. It turned out to be a good day once the rain stopped. There were some same day adoptions as well as several applications placed for the adoption of pets present. THANK YOU! We can’t wait to see you next year.
