My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello there, I'm Gio. I'm a bit of a wallflower, you see. I prefer quiet corners and gentle voices. My best friend, Adren, and I share a special bond. We're like two peas in a pod. I feel brave when he's around. I've got a soft spot for pets, they make me purr in delight. I may take a little time to warm up, but once I do, I promise you'll have a friend for life. If you're looking for a sweet, shy companion, who cherishes friendship and quiet moments, I'm your guy. Adopting me means adopting a love that will grow with time, a bond that will strengthen with patience. A home with me is a home filled with tranquility and gentle purrs.

More about this shelter

The South Suburban Humane Society is a 501(c )(3) organization that was started in 1970, serving the animal welfare needs of the entire south suburbs of Chicago. In the beginning, we handled all rescues, adoptions and provided foster care out of private homes. Since November 1973, our organization has been operating a 10,000 square foot open-door animal shelter in Chicago Heights, Illinois.

For over fifty years, our organization has helped tens of thousands of animals. We offer extensive outreach programs including humane education, and community outreach events. We also operate a resale shop located in Steger, Illinois that promotes our organization, our animals and provide much needed income to support our humane work.

The Mission of the South Suburban Humane Society is to protect and promote the well being of pets and their people in our community and beyond.
