Simba is a sweet, strong, enthusiastic 1-year-old terrier mix weighing approximately 55 pounds, who came to the rescue as a stray. Simba loves walks and playing with toys. He needs a yard to explore, a comfy couch for naps and a home where children are ages 10 or older. He lights up around humans and is happiest when he’s soaking up attention, pets, and quality time with people he loves. Simba needs to be the only pet. To meet Simba, mail Dogadoption@nawsus.org.

Archie is 25-pound, 5-year-old poodle/schnauzer-type mix. He was found as a stray and went unclaimed. Archie is playful and loves walks, sniffing around, and being with people. He’s stressed at the shelter and isn’t a fan of the crate. Archie needs a patient home without cats or young children, so he can decompress and relax and show his sweet, silly personality. So far, Archie has done OK with other friendly dogs similar in size. He is also three weeks post-FHO hip surgery and healing incredibly well. To meet Archie, email the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.
