Special Announcement from Anti-Cruelty: I-Bark-In-the Park
After 20 years hosting Chicago’s first dog-friendly event, The Anti-Cruelty Society regrets to report that Bark in the Park 21 has been cancelled due to a local outbreak of Canine Influenza.
Due to the highly contagious nature of this virus, The Anti-Cruelty Society feels it pertinent in following our mission to promote a healthy and safe community to cancel the event scheduled for Sunday, May 3 at Montrose Harbor.
While we are deeply saddened by this decision, we hope our friends and supporters understand. Further, we’d like to extend a call to action to continue fighting on behalf of the thousands of homeless pets the Society serves each year by participating in iBark in the Park!
