Illinois Dogs Rescued After Stolen Grooming Van Drama

It was a nightmare for pet owners when a grooming van was stolen in Illinois, and the vehicle was filled with dogs.

A Pet Grooming Van Filled With Dogs Was Stolen In Illinois

When I was growing up, we always had pet dogs. My family's breed of choice was Alaskan Malamutes. We loved those dogs, but they were big with a lot of fur. They enjoyed being outside and getting into mischief, so those pups had to be groomed all the time. It was not easy taking a 100-pound dog to the groomer. It would've been a lot easier if the groomer had come to us. Now, that's a big business to help pet owners.

Recently, a traveling dog groomer in Chicago was out making some runs. The driver was loaded with dogs to return to their owners. At some stops, there were multiple dogs. The employee would bring in all the dogs' things and then come back for the animals. At one location, when the driver came back out, the van was gone. Someone had stolen it. There were still several dogs inside.
