Book nowI love animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up on a farm and have never been without at least one pet of my own. In 2003 I left my previous job to pursue working with animals full time and I’ve never looked back! My husband and I have fostered over 80 dogs from Lake Shore Animal Shelter since then, and we also have a beautiful tortoiseshell cat of our own named Suki.

Just 10 minutes south of downtown Itasca, you'll find the neighborhood of Wood Dale, home of 185-acre Wood Dale Grove Forest Preserve. This preserve is another of the area's finest nature getaways. There are two 0.5-mile trails within the preserve that are open to visitors, both human and dog alike. One trail encircles Grove Lake while the other passes through the restored wetlands in the northern portion of the protected area.

Heading just 10 minutes north of Itasca will bring you to the East Higgins neighborhood, which lies smack dab in the middle of the incredible Ned Brown Preserve, also referred to as the Busse Woods. The Busse Woods encompasses nearly 4,000 acres of land and provides visitors with endless amounts of fun. You and your pup can enjoy the 457-acre lake, where fishing and boating are popular everyday activities throughout the summer months. You can also take advantage of the eight-mile paved loop trail that passes through a good portion of the preserve, allowing you and your pup to enjoy the many types of terrain present in the Busse Woods. The trail connects to the Salt Creek Greenway as well.

Less than an hour east of Itasca is the neighborhood of Humboldt Park, its namesake being the 207-acre park of the same name directly adjacent to the residential area.

You and your pup can enjoy the grassy areas or take a stroll next to the park's personal pond and admire the local wildlife which frequents the area. Your dog is not required to be on a leash in this park, though keeping your pup on-leash is generally recommended for safety reasons.
