Peppermint is a 10-year-old terrier that was adopted and returned to NAWS after several years through no fault of her own. Like her name, she is as sweet as can be! She loves people and likes to snuggle and nap with them. She would do best as the only pet in a home because she is not a fan of other dogs or cats. She loves children. She is potty-trained and has moments where she still loves to play. To meet Peppermint, email Dogadoption@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Sid is a 6-year-old tabby that needs a new home. He was rescued from an overcrowded shelter in Oklahoma where he was at risk of euthanasia. Sid is very friendly, sweet, outgoing and affectionate. He likes everyone he meets, and he eagerly greets visitors looking for pets and attention. He has a cute gravelly meow. His gentle demeanor makes him a good fit for any home. To meet Sid, email Catdoptions@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Hermione is a sweet, senior poodle mix who was unclaimed as a stray. She is approximately 10 years old but still spunky and full of energy. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.

Pop Tart is a kitten who is part of a litter found outside. She and her litter mates are currently being vetted and socialized. The kittens will be adopted when they are at least 8 weeks old and cleared by the vet. The shelter is now accepting applications. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.
