Fun Things To Do With Your Dog In This Weather!

Here’s a couple of nice things to do with your dog, in this heat.

1. Swimming 

Grab up all your bags, pack some treats, and head to the beach! There are multiple places in the Chicagoland area that look forward to seeing you and your dog smiling in the waters. A couple of beaches that are great to head to are Montrose Dog Beach and Belmont Harbor Dog Beach. Very dog friendly, and very accessible parking so you don’t have to worry about getting you and your dog outside to enjoy these hot summer days. 

2. Puppy Sweets 

Gelato is a big favorite for humans, but pup cups are a huge win for your dog!

Take your dog outside for some delightful puppy treats. There’s nothing like going outside with your owner on a nice day and being spoiled! Whether it’s getting a pup cup for your dog at Starbucks, or even going to Dairy Queen, to grab a nice frozen treat for your dog. Who doesn’t love to bond over some ice-cream with their furry friends!

3. Go on a Bike Ride

Who doesn’t love some good pedaling in the summertime, birds chirping, while riding against the wind. I know who would like it, your dog! Try some trails if all else fails. You can bike in the park for errands, whatever you would like, but one things for sure is your dog will love you forever for it !

    Meet Oliver the Corgi! 🐾
Full of personality and completely irresistible, this handsome guy brought so much joy to the studio. Moments like these are why I love what I do—capturing the bond you share with your pets and creating artwork you’ll treasure for years to come. 💛

    Meet Charlie, the semi-feral cat from @sayvanimals 🐾

Thank you to Sayv Animals and foster mom Carol for everything you do to help this sweet boy—and so many others—find safety, love, and a second chance.

Every animal deserves to be Seen. Heard. Loved.™ 💙

    Seen. Heard. Loved.

Candice C. Cusic has launched a powerful new project, The See Hear Love Project™, to spotlight the rising number of animals in Chicago shelters. In collaboration with local rescue groups, she’s giving a voice to animals who deserve a second chance and a loving home.

This one-of-a-kind initiative combines the art of animal communication with Cusic’s renowned photography to help each animal be seen, heard, and ultimately adopted. Follow along to meet them and discover their stories.

Since the filming of this video, Ramona has officially become a proud foster fail—aka ADOPTED! She now spends her days living her best life with her mom April, her dad, and five pig siblings, soaking up all the love, snacks, and belly rubs she could ever dream of. 🐷❤️

    SEEN. HEARD. LOVED.
Last year, 3,380 dogs and cats were euthanized in Chicago.
During his animal communication session, Tater shared something quietly heartbreaking:
“Sometimes I worry people won’t like me. I worry if I’m good enough.”
His foster mom couldn’t hold back tears — because he is good enough. Every dog waiting for a home is.
October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and Chicago’s shelters are beyond capacity.
The See Hear Love Project™ unites animal communication and fine-art photography to give foster animals a voice — so they can finally be seen, heard, and adopted.

Every foster animal has something to say.
Maggie’s animal communication session inspired the beginning of The See Hear Love Project™—and many more voices will follow.

    Dama may be in a wheelchair, but her spirit is unstoppable.

Through The See Hear Love Project™, her voice and her story are shared—so she can be truly seen, heard, and adopted. 

Thank you @sayvanimals for giving her the chance she deserves.  Thank you @salvageone for welcoming us to photograph Dama in your beautiful space. She was a little nervous Nelly that day, so we finished her session in the studio. We’re so grateful for your support in helping animals like Dama be seen, heard, and adopted. ❤️🐾

    This is Nala the cat. 🐾
Her reading wasn’t about adoption — it was about understanding.
Animal communication reveals what our pets are truly feeling.
