Mr Grey does great with other dogs. He loves to play and is quite friendly! He loves people and despite being a bit older, he is full of energy and life! He loves to play and loves toys. Mr Grey loves treats even more and will tip tap his feet, full of eagerness, to get his biscuit! He's quite the character and we love his personality!

Introducing Champion, a two year old Miniature Poodle mix looking for his forever home! Champion was brought in by a citizen and unfortunately, his owners never came back for him. Champion is a cute, little guy and weighs about twenty pounds. He loves to zoom about and play. He does great with other dogs of all sizes. He would love to have a canine buddy at home. Champion is definitely in need of a "start over groom" so once he's healed up from his neuter and settled, he would need to see a groomer. There's a lot of up keep with the breed's coat so adopters should be prepared for grooming appointments and cost of maintenance. His adoption fee is $235, which includes his vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and neuter.

DONATIONS FILLED!

We are all hoping that Spring is around the corner. We know it's only February but warm weather means lots of outside playtime, more playgroups, and lots of enrichment for our animals!

If you have visited our shelter, you may have seen our CVT Erin running around. She's usually juggling peanut butter in one arm with kongs in the other. Since joining our team, Erin has made it her mission to improve our enrichment for our animals and loves to keep them busy, both mentally and physically. She always stresses the importance of keeping all of our animals entertained and she has been crucial to adding that to our daily care. We are looking for donations to add to our enrichment bin for our animals. Donations can be new or used and be mailed/dropped off at our facility at 2807 McDonough Street in Joliet.

Meet Gaston, a seven year old tuxedo that is arrived to JTAC under some sad circumstances. Unfortunately, Gaston was brought in after the death of his owner. The daughter told us that her father frequently took in outside cats and brought them into the home. She wasn't too sure if he was friendly or an inside cat at all. When he was brought in, he must have been shaven in the past so his fur is growing back in patches. When he first arrived, Gaston was pretty nervous of his new surroundings, especially our intake room (which houses both dogs and cats). He was docile and were able to easily handle him. Once he was moved to our catroom, he settled in quickly and showed us his fun personality. Gaston can cohabitate with other cats but isn't a big fan of playing and wrestling with one another. He's more independent and likes to roam around on his own. Gaston LOVES wetfood and can be quite the maniac when he sees or hears a can opening. He loves to stick his paw out and wave it around for your attention. His adoption fee is $155, and includes his vaccines, registered microchip, f***l exam, deworming, FIV/FeLV test, current flea prevention, and neuter.
