Denver is a 5-year-old terrier mix. She loves to play with toys, play fetch and go on walks. She loves people but needs to be the only pet in a home. She is affectionate and would be a great couch companion. To meet Denver, email Stacy at @nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Pansy is a 3-year-old sweet calico. She was rescued with her kittens from an animal control in southern Illinois. Her kittens have been adopted, so it is time for her to find a forever home. She is good with children and other cats. She loves pets and attention, and she has a very easy-going and gentle nature. To meet Pansy, email Catadoptions@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Dusty is a 2-year-old sweet shepherd mix who is nervous at the shelter. He will require slow introductions, and a family with strong leadership skills and a willingness to train him. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.

Malkin is a 9-year-old domestic shorthair that came to the shelter when his owner no longer wanted him. He was very angry when he first arrived, which may be from abuse. Malkin is starting to come around, but he will need a loving and patient forever home. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.
