Marcus is a 90-pound, 6-year-old Labrador mix that’s calm, loving and gentle. Marcus likes leisurely strolls, a cozy spot on the couch and giving soft nuzzles. He does well with other dogs and needs a home without cats. To meet Marcus, email dogadoption@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Ziggy is a gentle 7-year-old tabby that lost her previous adopter. She was scared and overwhelmed in the noisy shelter environment and is settling into a foster home, where she’s showing her sweet, affectionate personality. Although Ziggy’s shy, she loves to be held and petted and snuggling into her favorite blanket-lined box. Ziggy gets along with other calm, older cats but also would be content as the only pet in a quiet, loving home. To meet Ziggy, email catadoptions@nawsus.org with any questions or to meet her. Visit nawsus.org.

Joey is a 10-pound, 11-year-old sweet Shih Tzu/Lhasa mix. Joey loves taking short walks, hanging out and snuggling in a comfortable bed. He doesn’t mind other small dogs, but he’s not a fan of bigger dogs. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.

Nora is a 4-month-old kitten that came to the humane society from local animal control. She is quite timid, so she needs a patient and loving home with older children who can respect her space. She likely would benefit from having a cat or kitten friend in the home. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.

Spooky loves movie nights, snuggles, food and naps. He’s incredibly gentle with kids and the perfect mix of chill and charming. To meet Spooky, visit thekittysquad.com/adoptables.

Blossom has “blossomed” in foster care and is ready for her forever home. She’s cuddly on her terms (hello, morning snuggles) and does well with other cats and calm dogs. Blossom is food-motivated, tidy, quiet and curious. She’d thrive in a calm home with adults or older kids who can respect her space. To meet Blossom, visit thekittysquad.com/adoptables.
