PLAINFIELD, IL — The Forest Preserve of Will County has published a 2020 calendar, featuring photos of dogs frolicking in county dog parks. Proceeds from the calendar's sales will go to help the Will County Humane Society.

This year's calendar features photos of dogs in the Forest Preserve's six dog parks, which are located in Home Glen, Joliet, Naperville, Shorewood, Wilmington and Crete Township. Since the calendar is benefiting the local humane society, dogs rescued from the shelter will also be featured in the calendar, according to the Forest Preserve.

The Will County Humane Society has been around for over 40 years, and relies entirely on donations for funding. About $10 of each calendar sale will go to the humane society.

Calendars may be purchased for $15 through Oct. 20 at willcountydogs.com. They will be shipped by Nov. 25 to ensure delivery by the holidays.
