Foster Pet Outreach joins in Yappy Hour at Grand Prairie hotel

as informed in ▲ DAVID ZALAZNIK/JOURNAL STAR Presleigh, a 6-month-old pit bull mix puppy, rests in the arms of Foster Pet Outreach foster home coordinator Alyssa Emanuelson Sunday at the monthly Yappy Hour at the Holiday Inn Peoria at Grand Prairie in Peoria. The hotel restaurant usually closes after breakfast on Sundays, but on the first Sunday of every month, it makes an exception and opens the kitchen up for Yappy Hour. "We find that getting out in the community and getting the word out about not just our pets, but rescue in general, is really beneficial," said Alyssa Emanuelson, foster home coordinator for Foster Pet Outreach. Foster Pet Outreach brings in most of its animals from Chicago with some from down south, and Emanuelson said every shelter out of central Illinois is overcrowded. Aside from a few barks and growls, the Yappy Hour guests seemed content in sniffing each other and wagging their tails in everyone's faces.
