Butternut is a gentle 18-month-old lab mix that came to NAWS from a high-kill shelter in Kentucky. He loves walks and gets along well with dogs, cats and kids. Butternut will be a great addition to any home. To meet Butternut, email dogadoption@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Six-year-old Emma Jane was relinquished to NAWS when her family became homeless. Emma Jane is sweet, friendly with people, and curious when visitors stop to give her pets and attention. She used to be an only cat, so being in the shelter is overwhelming and stressful for her. She copes by jumping to high places to observe and be left alone. Emma Jane will be a great companion kitty but should be the only pet in the home. To meet Emma Jane, email catadoptions@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Spuds is a dapper little 8-year-old, scruffy Terrier mix. He weighs almost 20 pounds, so he is working on losing some weight. He is a sweet, social, and loves being with people and getting belly rubs. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.

Skye was found in a junkyard by a kind person who wanted to help her. She is incredibly sweet and enjoys attention and pets. Skye has a cute purr that can be heard as soon as someone approaches her. She needs a forever home of her own. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.
