The dog days of summer remain a few weeks away, but not at Abbey Farms in Aurora, as the not-for-profit farm offered its third annual Dog Daze event on Saturday.

Laura Moore of the Animal Rescue Foundation of Illinois brings three puppies available for adoption back to her car to cool off Saturday as Abbey Farms in Aurora offered its third annual Dog Daze event from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Phil Nork, associate director for the farm, said the focus of the day included “getting the word out that our park is open.” “Last year, we had four rescue companies come out and this year we have seven, so this entire event has continued to really expand,” Nork said. “Our store is open with dog stuff plus our regular jellies and jams and our cafe is selling hamburgers and chicken sandwiches.”

AmyLynn Weiten of Morris said she came to the farm because she “loves dogs and there’re a lot of rescues and we wanted to play with a lot of the dogs.” AmyLynn Weiten of Morris and her boyfriend Richard Cotten of Romeoville check out one of the more than 30 vendors at Abbey Farms in Aurora during its third annual Dog Daze event on Saturday.
