Ted is a 4-year-old, 20-pound beagle who came to the humane society from a hoarding situation. He is timid, nervous, and needs extra time to adjust to new surroundings – but he is starting to come out of his shell and showing his goofy and playful side. Ted also needs extra help with potty training, an owner with prior beagle experience and a fenced hard. He is dog-friendly and a typical mischievous beagle once he’s comfortable. To meet Ted, visit the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com follow the instructions for the adoption process.

Samantha is a sweet 10-year-old calico, whose owner loved her very much and gave her wonderful care until Samantha’s owner passed away. Samantha enjoys pets and lounging on fluffy blankets.
