Barlow is a 5- or 6-year-old, 76-pound dog and cat-friendly husky mix who needs a home without children under 12. Barlow likes walks, car rides and grooming. As he loves chasing squirrels, home with a fenced yard would be ideal. Heathers Foster Dogs
Shamrocky is a 6-year-old male domestic long hair brown tabby that was found as a stray. He is engaging, curious and friendly and will always greet visitors. He likes pets and seems to have a gentle nature. He is FIV positive and would need to be the only cat in a home. NAWS Illinois Humane Society
Gretel is a beautiful, sweet and social girl who instantly grabs everyone’s attention when she rubs up for pets purring. When she’s done with getting attention, or just wants to stir things up. PAWS Tinley Park
Ophelia is a shy, but super sweet cat who needs her human to have a bit of patience so she can open up and be herself. She likes to cuddle up in her blankets and just relax. PAWS Tinley Park
Maggie can be willful sometimes, so will need a strong consistent hand, and sometimes a time out. She bonds easily with women and can be selective with men. No small children. PAWS Tinley Park
Punch came to PAWS as a stray. He isn’t fond of the shelter environment, so he is in fostering and in just 24 hours he blossomed into a great pet. He loves walks and when he returns, he is all for snuggling up on the sofa. He knows basic commands and does well when crated. PAWS Tinley Park
