Homewood Adoption Center

For more than 50 years, the south suburbs of Chicago have benefited from the services and resources offered by the South Suburban Humane Society, an animal shelter.

Most animal shelters in and around the state of Illinois, including P.A.W.S. Animal Shelter of Tinley Park, are overburdened with the number of abandoned and stray dogs and cats.

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization called Lulu's Locker Rescue works to dispel myths about FIV cats as well as the plight of black cats, dogs, and senior/hospice animals housed in shelters.

A 501c3 no-kill humane society, NAWS' mission is to transform the field of animal welfare. We need to find other solutions to the problem of companion animal overpopulation and suffering until there are appropriate federal and state regulations.

Every year, Merrionette Park saves a lot of animals from bad situations, and we work to make the adoption process as quick as possible so that we can go out and save more lives.

Our mission is to guarantee that all animals are treated with the respect they deserve, to inform our community members about the value of spaying and neutering their pets, and to address the issue of pet overpopulation.
