Described as a mobile zoo, Corey Hancock s A Zoo To You in Huntley has never been just a business.
The animals from ponies and reindeer to exotic mammals, reptiles and birds are like family, Hancock said.
This is my life, said Hancock, whose dream always has been to open a permanent zoo in McHenry County.
As much as he can t imagine ever letting the business go, he s afraid it won t survive the pandemic.
A part of Santa s Village AZoosment Park in East Dundee from 2002 until Hancock took over sole ownership in 2016, A Zoo To You at Zoosareus.com offers a traveling petting zoo, exotic animal shows, pony carousels, reindeer displays and more.

Subscriber only There are not many moments of the day when Max, the Siberian husky, leaves the side of his owner Shaune Martin. Max follows her constantly. He lies beside her if she feels unwell, protective and intuitive to her feelings. He is bonded to his owner in a strong and special way. In October 2019, Max saved Martin s life in a devastating, life-changing accident that left Martin within a whisker of death. What Max did on that horrific day is incredible. And in every sense of the word, Max is a hero. On that late afternoon, Martin got home from her job as an office administrator for Boeing at RAAF base Amberley and set out on one of her regular runs with Max, taking one of several routes around her Augustine Heights neighbourhood in Ipswich, southwest of Brisbane.
