Best Ever Networking Events for Chicago Area Dogs and Their People
If you're one of the gazillion Chicago area dog owners looking to hang out with other dog owners and dog lovers, you need to know about Chicago Canine Concierge.
In addition to their main function -- hooking up Chicagoland pet owners with the top pet service providers in the city (groomers, trainers, walkers, etc.) -- they host amazing networking events for dogs and their people.
Like the West Town Pup Crawl on Tuesday nights. Enjoy great food and drink specials and some pooch (and their parents) camaraderie while you help a rescue. A percentage of the bar tab goes to a different rescue organization each week.
