Heartland Animal Shelter Walk of Love is July 21
Walkers and their canine companions will have a howling good time at the Heartland Animal Shelter Walk of Love, Saturday, July 21 at 9:30 a.m. at Blue Star Memorial Forest Preserve in Glenview.
The Walk of Love is a leisurely 2K stroll, followed by breakfast, prizes, puppy pools, vendors, photos and more.

Participants will enjoy breakfast and other refreshments, entertainment, games, raffles and a variety of vendors. Each registrant will also receive a Walk of Love t-shirt.
Blue Star Memorial Forest Preserve is located at 701 E Lake Avenue, Glenview. Everyone is welcome with or without a dog. The Walk of Love registration fee is $30 in advance and $35 at the door.
