Joliet Township Animal Control Hosted “Hogs & Dogs” Community Event 

On Saturday, May 17, 2025, Joliet Township Animal Control (JTAC) hosted its first-ever Hogs & Dogs event at 2807 McDonough Street in Joliet. From 12 PM to 3 PM, community members gathered for an unforgettable afternoon of food, entertainment, and support for local animals.

The event welcomed motorcycle enthusiasts, pet lovers, and families alike. Guests had the chance to meet adoptable pets and learn about responsible pet ownership while enjoying a vibrant motorcycle display by the Chicago Viclero Motorcycle Club. Live demonstrations were provided by Mallard Point Vet Clinic, Ty Ty the Reptile Guy, and Furiends of Manhattan Pet Pantry, offering fun and educational experiences for all ages.

Local vendors added to the excitement, including Scentsy, Intermode (pet-friendly plants), and Karen’s Pet Grooming, which offered $5 nail trims for pets. Food vendors Hectic Tacos Taco Truck and Brook Bakes satisfied cravings, with 10% of food proceeds generously donated to JTAC.

To promote pet safety, JTAC offered free microchips for the first 10 pets and $10 microchips throughout the day. Supporters also donated $10 or a bag of dog food in exchange for two hot dogs and a drink, helping to care for animals in need.
