Happy Tails operates Whiteside County's only animal shelter. We are a limited-intake, no-kill facility that shelters and cares for stray and abandoned dogs and cats until they are adopted into loving, permanent homes. We promote pet adoption and humane education. Happy Tails is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
Wednesday and Thursday 5:00-7:00 p.m.
On May 2 Raise the Woof! comedians will once again perform at Days Inn. We hosted this group as a fundraiser last year and it was so popular we booked them again! The comedians have performed on HBO, Comedy Central and at other national venues. More information on Raise the Woof!
