Rue is a 10 month old terrier mix who is friendly and gets along well with other dogs. She is strong and has a lot of puppy energy, so she needs a home with no young children. She loves to run and play. To meet Rue, please email [email protected]. Visit nawsus.org.
Two-year-old Sword was found with her litter of stray kittens. Now that all of her kittens have homes, she’s ready for her happy ending. Sword is affectionate, outgoing, playful and active. He likes pets and attention and enjoys being brushed. She is confident, can entertain herself, and is low maintenance. To meet Sword, send an email [email protected]. Visit nawsus.org.
Dusty is a herder mix who has made a lot of progress but needs an experienced owner for further training. Dusty is also very active and needs a family to keep him busy. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.
Bronx is a domestic shorthaired tabby who came to the shelter as a stray. He likes to be petted, but he will let you know when he has received enough attention. Bronx is FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) positive, so he needs a family to keep him relaxed and happy. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.
Deena is a 3-year-old tabby who gets along well with dogs, although not so much with small dogs and cats as her instincts get the better of her. Otherwise, Deena has good manners. She knows three commands: sit, lie down, and kick. She loves the affection from her and she rolls on her back to get her tummy rubbed. She loves to chase the water from the outside hose. To meet Deena, call Joliet Township Animal Control at 815-725-0333 if she has any questions.
Salvia, three years old, is very sweet and needs a home again. She gets along well with small, calm dogs and does well with other cats if they match her low energy and give her space. She loves to chase toys with magic wands and she loves to scratch on posts and sit on top of cat trees. To meet Salvia, call Joliet Township Animal Control at 815-725-0333.
