Elmhurst Residents Can Vote in a Different Kind of Election This Year

Elmhurst residents won’t just be voting in the presidential election this year — they’re also being asked to vote for their favorite local pet charity.

Bentley’s Pet Stuff, a natural pet food store, opened a new store in Elmhurst and supports animal rescues through its sales and store events.

“Opening another store in the Chicagoland area is heartwarming since we opened our first store in Arlington Heights,” Lisa Senafe, CEO and co-founder of Bentley’s Pet Stuff, said in a press release. “For our opening weekend, we’re holding our own election to ask pet parents to vote on a worthy pet charity.”

Five charities are competing for an award that will be announced online Monday, Nov. 7. The charities pet owners can choose from for voting are Chicagoland Animal Rescue, Perfect Pooches, Peace for Pits, Great Lake Lab Rescue and the Hinsdale Humane Society.

Voting, as well as grand opening celebrations for the new 624 N. York St. store, will take place from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Nov. 4-6. On Nov. 5-6, celebrations will include complimentary goodie bags, raffles and 10 percent off of everything in the store.

Stay tuned for the results of the Favorite Pet Rescue Award.
