Betsy is a 2-year-old terrier mix. She is outgoing, friendly, and seems to like everyone she meets. She is a good mix of active and relaxed. She likes other dogs if given a slow introduction. She is potty-trained. To meet Betsy, email Stacy at stacy@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Binx is a 6-year-old front-paw declawed male that was relinquished by his previous owner. He is a big cat and likes treats. Binx needs a home where he can be independent, and his boundaries will be respected – he likes to be petted but will let you know when he has had enough. To meet Binx, email Delonda at delonda@nawsus.org or call NAWS at 708-478-5102. Visit nawsus.org.

Pollie is a 3-year-old beagle mix who was found as a stray. She is sweet and sociable and doesn’t seem to mind the other dogs at the shelter. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.

Mash is a 7-year-old female domestic shorthair who came to the shelter when her owner passed away. She is very shy but does love to be petted. Mash needs a quiet and patient forever home. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.
