Around $10 from every calendar goes to benefit the Will County Humane Society in Shorewood and the price includes shipping and handling.
Last year’s calendar raised almost $6,000 for the shelter, which is the oldest no-kill shelter in Will County and survives on donations alone. The calendar is raising funds for the shelter for the second year while also featuring some of the many adorable dogs from the Forest Preserve's six dog parks.

A French bulldog named Johnny, who loves to snack on crickets and can fall asleep in any position, has been chosen as the cover dog for the calendar.
The New Lenox pup is one of 32 local dogs that will be included in the calendar project. Featured dogs also come from Channahon, Joliet, Plainfield, Manhattan Minooka, Monee, Naperville and
Dyer, Ind.
Ordering calendars is a fun way for people to learn about the Forest Preserve’s dog parks, and the many pups that romp there, while supporting a local animal charity that has been placing
homeless cats and dogs in their forever homes year after year for almost 50 years.
