The past few years have been a challenge for Just Animals Shelter in Mazon. With more animals being surrendered and an inability to do fundraising, the sales of its first-ever calendar, Furry Friends and First Responders, may make up for some of the fundraising loss.

The 2023 calendar includes first responders from police and fire departments from Morris, Mazon, Seneca, Coal City, Wilmington and Braidwood, as well as cats, kittens and dogs that have been adopted from Just Animals Shelter.

Just Animals Shelter is a nonprofit organization that receives no taxpayer dollars and operates solely on donations and fees from their vaccine clinics as well as spay and neuter clinics. In the past three years, Just Animals Shelter has found homes for more than 1,550 cats and kittens and 440 dogs and puppies.

Calendars cost $15 and are available at:

  • Just Animals Shelter, 505 Depot St. in Mazon
  • Normington’s General Store, 924 S. Water St. in Wilmington
  • Coal City Police Department, 545 S. Broadway in Coal City
  • Nails and Tails Pet Grooming, 100 W. Commercial Drive in Morris
  • Mane Street Hair Co., 179 N. Main St. in Seneca

The calendar also will be available at Just Animals Shelter vaccine clinic locations. Visit justanimals.org for dates and locations as well as additional information about services offered by the shelter.

For information, call the shelter at 815-448-2510.
