Meet Indie, a 2.5 year old cattle dog/Aussie mix weighing about 40lbs. Indie was surrendered to a local animal control and then transferred to us. She underwent knee surgery to fix a luxating patella and is healed and ready to find a home!
Indie loves to play with toys outside; she’ll play fetch or shake around a plush toy. She does also enjoy walks and exploring new smells out and about. When she gets a break from the noisy shelter environment she loves to sit with someone and get pets. She’ll lean into you or put her front legs into your lap.
Indie is looking for a home without dogs or cats. We strongly recommend anyone interested in her research the breed so they understand all the characteristics and quirks of herding breeds.
If you are interested in meeting Indie, or any of our adoptable dogs, please visit www.willcountyhumane.com to read about the adoption process and submit an application!

Rudy can’t wait for the weather to be nice again! He loves chasing toys and lounging in the sun with staff to get pets.
Rudy is a two year old terrier/pug mix, weighing about 40lbs. He is a bit nervous with new people, so will need a patient home that doesn’t mind taking it slow. In return, he’ll be a sweet, goofy boy and the best companion.

Cat spotlight: Sesame
Meet Sesame, who’s been dubbed “Sass-ame.” She is 2 years old and has the most striking colors and pattern!
We are looking for a special adopter for Sesame. Someone who is willing to just let her be her silly independent self!
Sesame does not like being held or pet. She will occasionally nuzzle against your legs or allow a few pets on her forehead or chin/cheek area. She has no problem reminding you she’d rather you just observe her, though.
We know most people are looking for a cuddly, affectionate cat, but we know there is someone out there for Sesame! Are you looking for an independent cat who LOVES to play? Are you hoping for a buddy that can make you laugh with her silly antics? Do you have comfy beds and a window or two for Sesame to enjoy?
Sesame is looking for a home without kids, cats, or dogs. Interested in seeing the sassy queen herself? Visit our website to fill out our adoption application!
Who needs some silly in their life?!?!
Do you need someone to make you smile daily?!? 😀
Come meet Todd!
This beagle mix is a bundle of fun! He was given a new toy today and his reaction makes us all laugh! He couldn’t decide what it was, a ball, a rope, both!
He has been at WCHS a little over a year. He is wonderful with people and is kid friendly. He is dog selective so would be best with a more submissive partner.
If interested in meeting this little dog with a big personality! Message us!
Kitten Update!!
Some of you may have seen our last post about these three sweet kittens looking for forever homes. Here’s an update!
When Princess, Freddy, and Sherbet first arrived to us, they tested positive for FIV. We retested them all again, and the second test was also positive for FIV.
Our vets advised to retest them once they were six months old, as sometimes kittens who contract FIV from their mother in utero are able to fight off the antibodies. We got the news they tested FIV negative!!
These three kittens are still looking for forever homes! They are some of the sweetest babies, with loud purrs and some kisses to give. They love to climb onto you to get attention.
If you are interested in meeting them, please submit an adoption application on our website! Adoption Process – Will County Humane Society (https://www.willcountyhumane.com/adopt/adoption-process/)

Puppy Spotlight; Penny and Otis 🐾🐾

We highly encourage anyone interested in these pups to do their research on the breeds.
They are looking for very active homes to help them through their puppy phases, training, etc. Otis and Penny will be sure to keep you entertained with their goofy vocals and antics!

Dog Spotlight: Dudley
Dudley is a 7 year old pit bull who is looking for a home to spend his golden years in!
He was originally adopted out from us as a puppy. Sadly, he was found roaming the streets after being rehomed and animal control brought him back to us when no one reclaimed him.
The outside life has taken a toll on Dudley’s body. He has luxating patellas and hip dysplasia on both back legs. He is on medicine to help with the pain and inflammation which seem to help quite a bit! We try to limit his activity so as not to aggravate his symptoms, but he doesn’t mind. He also loves being a big couch potato. He enjoys curling up on a soft blanket or sprawling out in the grass. Dudley is a bit on the heavier side now and we are working to get him down to a good weight.
He knows sit and paw, and has the cutest face which is very photogenic!
Dudley does okay with other dogs, but is very excited about meeting them and can come off strong. He’s looking for a home without small children or cats. For his mobility it would be ideal to have few stairs or some accommodation for that.
We want nothing more than for this sweet handsome boy to be in a home. He deserves it. If you have some space on your couch for this older gentleman, please fill out an application on our website!
Dog Spotlight; Ziggy
Meet Ziggy, our spunky little doxie/chi mix! She is around 3.5 years old and was an owner surrender to a southern Illinois animal control. She weighs in at a little over 14lbs.
Ziggy takes a moment to get comfy with new people but is a goofy and sweet girl once she knows you! She’ll sometimes jump into staff’s lap and give kisses (she loves to give kisses).
She’s not too found of her underside or legs being touched, but loves back scratches and head rubs. She usually gives good signals with body language. Ziggy loves toys and is often thrashing them around, squeaking them, or throwing them.
Ziggy likes to investigate outside or go for short walks but not for too long. Like some small breeds she has luxating patellas (knees) and if she goes for too long it starts to bother her. However, the vets do not think it is of concern right now.
Ziggy seems to do okay with mellow dogs her size. She is looking for a home without cats or kids.
We know Ziggy’s family is out there! Think it might be you? Fill out our online adoption application on our website.
Cat Spotlight; Gomez
Meet Gomez, our sleek 1 year old black cat. This guy is perfect buddy!
Gomez came to us with a couple other cats from local animal control, after they were abandoned from an eviction.
Gomez is a sweetheart and a chatty boy. He just wants to be with someone and get all the love. He will yell to remind you he’s here and would very much like your full attention. He will follow staff around, too. He’s very playful and enjoys exploring and running around. He’s also very chill with handling.
Gomez prefers a home without other cats. But you won’t need another cat if you choose him because his heart is so big!
Want to meet this sweet and handsome boy? Fill out our application on our website!
Cat Spotlight; Fara
Meet Fara, our sweet and very petite 1.5 year old tabby girl looking for a forever home.
Fara came to us with her sister and a couple other kittens from a local animal control. They were all very nervous, and have made progress, each at their own pace.
Fara is the most outgoing of the three. Once she knows you she will appear beside you, rubbing against you, asking for pets and cheek rubs. She will roll around and play with toys. She loves wand toys and other toys she can chase.
Fara is another cat that is a bit harder to show at meet and greets as she is nervous around strangers and will likely hide from new people. We know if you give her the chance, though, she’ll show you how sweet and playful she is!
This gorgeous girl is ready to find a patient and loving home to shine!
Does your home and heart have room for two?
We have some of the sweetest bonded pairs looking for loving homes.
We have Remus and Professor Moody, Jesse and Jasper, and Draco and Leonardo!
All available online for adoption!
Kitten Spotlight; Boots 🥾🥾
Meet one of our kittens, Boots!
This guy has the biggest personality and is sure to keep you entertained.
Boots has endless energy and is super playful. He romps around, jumping on everything and climbing anything. He’ll carry around toys and throw himself around. This big goof will keep you laughing and you will never have a dull moment.
Boots has been slowly integrating with our other kittens, as he’s a bit of a rough player and the other kittens are a bit more mellow than this crazy boy.
When he’s not playing, he loves food and attention. He’ll happily get some pets if he’s not busy running around like crazy. He’s got a loud purr too!
If you’re looking for a fun new friend to keep you busy, apply to meet Boots! He’d love his own home to run around in.
Apply online to meet this fun boy soon!

Please help us find Dusty his forever home!
Dusty is a 4 year old German Shepherd mix who’s a big goofy, active, loving, bed hog. He has been waiting for the perfect forever home for almost two years now.
Dusty is an active guy who LOVES fetch. He knows “drop it” and “wait” which are great for playing fetch. He loves tennis balls. He’s quite strong but does walk well on leash.
During naps, he is a cuddle bug who will happily steal your blankets and take up the whole bed if given the chance. He just wants to be comfy with his person.
Dusty has gone home with a staff member for sleep overs and outings multiple times and is a very good boy. He listens very well and just wants to be loved.
Dusty is looking for an experienced dog owner to call his own. He would do best in a home with no young children, cats, or dogs.
Apply online to meet him soon!

Dog Spotlight; Rudy
Meet our sweet Rudy! This 1.5 year old terrier/pug mix weighs in around 38lbs. He came to us from southern Illinois animal control hoping for a new start.
As you may know, the shelter is a tough place for a dog to be. Rudy is very stressed here, and though we are doing what we can to help him manage it with enrichment, training, and medication, we would love to get Rudy into a home.
Rudy is a sweet boy, who loves to jump up to give staff hugs and get pets. He LOVES to play fetch and has an incredible jump to catch the ball. During warmer weather Rudy likes to roll around in the kiddie pools, too. He’s a great walker and will happily go on strolls with you.
Due to his nervousness, Rudy needs slow introductions to new people. Once he warms up, he is a love bug. Rudy is looking for a patient, quiet and experienced home with no children. He seems to do okay with dogs his size or smaller that are pretty mellow in temperament.
Please help us find Rudy a place to feel safe and loved! We know he has great potential.
https://www.willcountyhumane.com/adopt/adoption-process/
Cat Spotlight; Hallie
Meet our spunky girl, Hallie. This gorgeous 4.5 year old tortoiseshell has plenty of personality and love!
Hallie is quite the character. She loves human attention and will follow you around, rubbing on your legs to get some pets. Her favorite thing to do is climb staff and volunteers. She will climb onto your chest and then onto your shoulders and behind your head. We often find her in a comfy bed, napping in the window where the sun hits her just right.
Hallie would prefer a home without dogs or cats. She’s a grump around them and will give a slap if they get too close, whilst growling loudly. Sweet Hallie has been through a lot and takes a bit to adjust to new changes. She may growl and hide for a bit after being moved to a new space, but she’s not mean at all. She just voices her feelings like a typical torti with a “torti-tude.”
She would love a home that can appropriately give her a week or two to adjust to the new situation so she has a chance to get comfy and start exploring.
If given the opportunity while she adjusts to her new home, she is sure to show you all the love and spunky playfulness she has.
Apply online to meet Hallie soon!

Cat spotlight; Claus!
Claus is a 1 year old orange tabby who came to us as a stray with his siblings last winter. His brothers found homes quite quickly as they were more outgoing and quick to approach new people. Claus is just as sweet and playful, but he takes a moment to warm up to you and realize you just want to give love.
Claus loves to play, he chases wand toys or the mop when you are cleaning. He runs around with jingly balls and kicks catnip toys. Claus also enjoys the company of other cats. He enjoys cuddling with his sister, Elfie, or whichever cat he has befriended lately.
Once you give Claus the opportunity to know you, he’s a cuddle bug! If you sit on the floor, he will make himself fit into your lap- rolling around for pets and rubbing all over you. He’s truly a love bug.
Will you give Claus a chance to show his sweet and playful nature? If you’d like to meet this perfect boy please fill out our adoption application!
