Rudy is a sweet 3-year-old terrier/pug mix. He loves to walk around and investigate the humane society grounds and roll around in the grass. Rudy is a nervous dog that needs a quiet home with just one to two people and an owner with plenty of patience. He doesn’t mind coexisting with another laid-back dog. Once Rudy feels safe, he will be very loving. He is always rolling over for belly rubs from staff. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.

Robbie is an incredibly affectionate 10-year-old domestic shorthair that came from a local animal control. He loves people and rubs against them or climbs onto them for attention and pets. He doesn’t mind the other cats and is fine coexisting with them so far. He is a bit skinny, so the humane society is helping him gain a few pounds. He also has some hair loss on his back end and tail, which his veterinarian believes is due to poor care, living outside and stress. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.
