Tora is a 7-year-old mellow husky, who doesn’t mind the company of other dogs but prefers friends that respect her space and don’t jump all over her. She’s an older girl, so a companion who matches her Zen personality would be best. She loves the icy weather and enjoys long walks, especially in the morning. To meet Tora, call Joliet Township Animal Control at 815-725-0333.
Kailee is a 1-year-old domestic shorthair that has now been at the animal control for more than 101 days. Kailee has always been outgoing and affectionate. She is cat friendly but is looking for a dog-free home. To meet Kailee, call Joliet Township Animal Control at 815-725-0333.
