From being left in a shopping cart at PetSmart to finding a family of his own. That is what it’s all about!!! ❤️

That's exactly the story of our sweet Evel Knievel 💕.

On October 23rd, we received a call from our friends at PetSmart in Crestwood after a little dog was found abandoned inside the store in a shopping cart. We welcomed this handsome boy into our care, and at just 10 months old, he had quite a new adventure ahead of him.

Fast forward to yesterday, and Evel Knievel officially found his forever home 🥹🐾🏠!

From an uncertain beginning to a family of his very own, this little guy got the second chance he deserved.

We're so proud of you, sweet boy. Go make your new family as happy as you made all of us. We have a feeling you're going to be very loved ❤️.

Meet Diamond, our beautiful girl who's estimated to be around 4 years old!

When Diamond first arrived at our shelter, she was a little fearful and unsure of her surroundings. But as she's gotten more comfortable, we've seen more and more of her wonderful personality!

Diamond loves going for walks, playing with her favorite toys, and showing off her treasures by proudly carrying them all the way back to her kennel 😂❤️.

She's also done well with other dogs here at the shelter, and we can't wait for someone to discover just how much love and personality this girl has to offer.

Ready to meet Diamond? Stop by South Suburban Humane Society today! We're open until 7pm, and she'd love to meet you 🐾!

Have you ever looked at your pet and thought, “Wow, you belong in a museum!” Well… this might not be that kind of art.

Introducing Poorly Drawn Pet Portraits, a hilarious fundraiser benefiting the animals at South Suburban Humane Society!

Our very talented (okay, talent is NOT guaranteed 🤣) SSHS staff members are putting their artistic abilities to the test to create one-of-a-kind portraits of YOUR pets! And if you're extra lucky, one of our staff members' kids might even create your masterpiece!

Will your pet look like a majestic work of art? A potato with legs? A creature from another dimension? There's only one way to find out!

Every portrait helps support the animals in our care, so even if the artwork is questionable, the cause is absolutely priceless.

This week is Shelter Staff Appreciation Week, and we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible people who make South Suburban Humane Society what it is.

Every single day, our staff show up for animals who need them. They work hard to make sure these pets are cared for while they're with us. They pour their heart and soul into caring for them, loving them, comforting them, and helping provide second chances along the way.

They experience the difficult days, celebrate the victories, and put their hearts into making life better for the animals who come through our doors. Sometimes that means going above and beyond, staying a little longer, or giving an animal the extra patience and love they need to feel safe.

It's not always easy, and it certainly isn't always glamorous. But it takes a special kind of person to show up day after day, knowing that what they do makes a difference.

To every member of our team: THANK YOU.

Thank you for your compassion, dedication, hard work, and for being there for the animals who need you most. We are incredibly lucky to have you, and our animals are even luckier 🥹❤️.

Happy Shelter Staff Appreciation Week!
