Willow Branch - Cisco

It’s that time of year again. Willow Branch would love your vote in the people’s choice award.

A mix of clouds and sun with gusty winds. High 88F. Winds SSW at 20 to 30 mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph..

You may have heard some rumors, but today we made it official. We found the forever home for Willow Branch Monticello when we purchased Monticello Bowl. Over the next 6 months we will totally be renovating the interior to house boarding, daycare, grooming, training and store.

With 16,000 square feet will be able to add more boarding rooms. Additionally it will allow us to expand our booming and growing grooming business with dedicated bathing and washing areas. Training will have a larger space as well too. Best yet we will have a larger outdoor area and a PAVED parking lot (no more white dog prints in the car)

Evan and Amy want to give a big thanks to Ge**er State Bank for sharing their vision. 25 years ago they believed in Evan’s parents, Jim & Sandy when they started the kennel in Cisco.

Thank you for all of our clients and furry guests. Most of all this would not be possible without you.

Onward and upward!

-Evan

We had a dog dropped off that was picked up on Route 32 between Cisco and Cerro Gordo. If this is your pup, contact Evan at 217-669-2167 ext 1. I will wait until 4/17 to contact animal control. Currently being housed here at the kennel.

A friend found this article as she was going through some of her treasures. This will be our 27th summer in business. Glad these two are around, in a different role, working as grandma and grandpa now.

For all those fur parents watching the weather, we are fine here in Cisco. Not much weather at all. A nice rain is about it. Stay safe to those parents traveling.

Along with all the human virii circulating right now, there seems to be a winter cold going around the dog community. If you notice your dog has a cough, please avoid community areas. Also, make sure your pup is current on the bordatella vaccine. We do require it, but like all vaccines, it doesn't protect against all strains.

A friend just sent me a message about adding a go home bath to the reservation. Here is a quick video on how to add a go home bath.

Due to time constraints, we don't do baths on Sundays.
