St. Charles pet store works with overcrowded shelter to save dogs, cats

ST. CHARLES – Moo Moo is an energetic Jack Russell terrier mix. Siegfried is a loving lhasa apso mix. And Thatcher, a miniature pincher mix, likes to people watch.

They’re some of the newest additions to the see-through kennels at Critters Pet Shop in St. Charles. While they’re no ordinary pet shop dogs, owner Caroline Janczak said customers probably wouldn’t know the difference.

“The three dogs, they are very sweet,” she said. “They seek out human contact. They love people.”

What do you think of people using fireworks near their homes?

That shouldn't be tolerated. It's dangerous.
I'd never do it, but I'll watch others.
It's OK so long as the fireworks are legal.
It's not a problem. It's just a way to celebrate.
I have no opinion.
