Oatmeal is a 1-year-old terrier that was found as a stray and brought to NAWS for safety. She was quite nervous in her new surroundings, but she’s now coming out of her shell. Oatmeal is calm and quiet in her crate but likes to play and cuddle when given a chance. She will be a wonderful addition to any home. To meet Oatmeal, email Dogadoption@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Thomas is a 2-year-old, 16-pound tabby that was found at a cat colony and brought to NAWS to be neutered and then released. However, Thomas is not feral and much too friendly for an outdoor life. Thomas is outgoing, sweet and charming. He loves pets and attention and approaches visitors looking for some love. He does well with other cats. To meet Thomas, email Catadoptions@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Tanner is a hound mix who came to the humane society from Kentucky. He is energetic and playful and loves to be with people. Tanner is picky about other dogs, but meet and greets are welcome.

Joy is a sweet and quiet domestic shorthair that loves attention and leans into people for cheek rubs, too. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.
