Animal Clinic of Romeoville Collecting for Downstate Tornado Victims

Plus, pet photos with Santa and local headlines that didn't make today's newsletter.

The Animal Clinic Romeoville is barking up a collection tree.

In an effort to assist victims of the tornado that leveled much of Washington, Ill., folks at the clinic are collecting pet food and other animal needs for pets and pet owners affected by the Nov. 19 tornado.

The collection drive runs through Dec. 13. Then, items will be taken to an animal shelter in Washington, Ill., so the shelter pets that have been homeless can enjoy the holidays and some downstate pet owners can rejoice, too.
