Cricket is a young domestic shorthair who was found abandoned in an apartment. He is affectionate and playful and may do well in a home with other cats. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.

One-year-old Ojabu is a very outgoing and ready to find a home. He loves attention from people and reaches out his little paws when people walk by his cage. He perks up when it’s wet food time. He loves his food and gets extra chatty when it’s time for his next meal. To met Ojabu, call Joliet Township Animal Control at 815-725-0333.

Donette is a very plump, 10-year-old French bulldog/pittie mix. Donette was found waddling (literally) around in Joliet until she was scooped up by one of animal control’s officers. Donette does well with other dogs and cats but prefers companions that are laid-back like her. With a slow introduction, she should do well with new fur siblings. Donette keeps her cage pretty clean and will grunt or mumble if anyone wakes her from her slumber. To meet Donette, call Joliet Township Animal Control at 815-725-0333 with any questions.
