Tilly is looking for her new family!

This girl is high energy for sure! We have her as a 1 year old, 11 lbs mini poodle mix. So she’s still considered a puppy and looking for a home with time for exercise and training. She is a grooming dog and came to WCHS very matted so new adopters will need to be prepared for the financial aspect of regular grooms.

She is a great girl, has done well with others dogs, but has not been kid tested just yet. She is available now! Spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and heartworm negative!

Apply online to meet her soon! https://www.willcountyhumane.com/adoption-process/

Who’s looking for the cutest little senior ever?!?! Joey came to us from a local animal control where he wasn’t reclaimed. He was passed around by a few previous owners and then landed with WCHS!

He’s a darling little guy who has some pep in his step at 11.5 years old! We have him as a shih tzu mix. He doesn’t care for large dogs but has done better with smaller ones.

He’s up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and was just neutered and had a few teeth pulled.

He’s available now! Apply online to meet him soon. https://www.willcountyhumane.com/adoption-process/

Miss Posey has been adopted!

She came to us about five months ago with her siblings, all very nervous. Posey seemed to be one of the more nervous of her siblings. With lots of patience, she made lots of progress in meeting new people! When she met her new parents and her new doggie sister, we were so thrilled at how quickly she warmed up!

This past weekend, she went to her new forever home. She was excited to see her family and had a blast running around with her doggie sister.

Happy Tails Posey, now Penny!! Thank you for adopting!!

A huge shout out, Thank You, to all those with ! We were fortunate to attend another supply distribution yesterday and were able to get valuable food needed for our shelter animals.

For us at WCHS, kitten season is not over as we still have many kittens on site and many requests to take more in shelter. We were able to get an Entire pallet of canned kitten food!

As many know when kittens come into rescue they are underweight and malnourished. The supplies from Rescue Pack allow us to give each kitten the extra, and very necessary, foods to grow, heal and thrive prior to adoption. We were also able to able to get dry dog and cat foods for all the other animals in shelter too.

We can’t Thank You and those at enough for making this all possible! 🙌

Sneezy from our Dwarf litter has been adopted. And that’s not the best part! The best part is that her sibling was adopted a few weeks again and the adopters came back for her too.

So Sneezy and Grumpy (now Momo) have been reunited by adoption. We love that these sisters will be enjoying life together.

Thank you for adopting X ✌️!!

Our Story

Will County Humane Society is Will County’s OLDEST no-kill shelter! We house up to 30 dogs and 60 cats at any given time- not including those in foster care. We are a 5013C not-for-profit organization that relies solely on the generous donations and support from our surrounding community. Our facility does not receive federal or state funding.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing requirements set in place, all dog introductions will soon be conducted outdoors on an appointment only basis. We are unable to show and adopt out cats at this time. Adopters must be at least 21 years old to adopt.

All cats over the age of 1 year have received a wellness exam, are current on Rabies and Distemper vaccinations, have had FIV/Leukemia testing as well as f***l testing. Cats are also microchipped, dewormed and current on preventions. Cats over the age of 4 months will be spayed/neutered. Kittens adopted under the age of 4 months will go home with a Spay/Neuter Certificate covering the cost of the spay/neuter procedure once the pet is old enough to have the surgery performed. For those adopted prior to procedure completion, a $100 deposit is required upon adoption and reimbursed once the procedure is complete by one of our participating vets.

Potential adopters are no longer able to freely roam the kennel or our main yard. All dogs are up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, testing and preventions. Dogs over the age of 6 months have received a wellness exam, are current on Rabies, Distemper, Bordatella and Influenza H3N2/H3N8 vaccinations. They will also be spayed/neutered, tested for Heartworm disease as well as have f***l testing performed. Dogs are microchipped, dewormed, and current on preventions.
