DOES YOUR DOG NEED A VACATION?
Even the youngest guests have plenty of time to play and explore the many attractions of the resort.
PAWS HERE PET RESORT OFFERS A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE CHOICE FOR TRAVELING PET PARENTS Story and photos by Dave Cook Planning a vacation is an involved process with many considerations. For pet owners, arranging care for four-legged loved ones can be especially difficult. For the past nine years though, pet parents of the Illinois Valley have had a special, guiltfree option offering much more than a simple kennel at the vet’s office — the Paws Here Pet Resort located in rural Oglesby. Sitting on six green acres with three
buildings, Paws Here offers you the ability to send your pet on a fun-filled vacation while you enjoy yours without worry. Manager Gerald Buck described why Paws Here is unique among pet resorts. “One of the biggest differences, particularly in this area, is a lot of times pet resorts are in redesigned buildings. Paws Here is different because from its very conception, before the first shovel even hit the ground, this was intended to be for pets,” Buck said. Buck has been the resort manager since
April, but owner Diane Baker has known him for decades, and she spoke of how happy she was to once again work with Buck. “Gerald is my dream manager, I’m so happy to have him here and to be able to work with him again. He’s so knowledgeable and caring. He’s also a very good breed historian; you can tell him any breed, and he’ll be able to tell you their history and how they came to be. Our whole staff has an exceptional level of devotion,” Baker said.
