My story

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

Hello, I'm Ebony! I'm a sweet and friendly gal with a heart full of love. My smarts are sure to impress you, as I'm quick to learn new tricks and commands. Playtime is my favorite, especially when it involves a good game of fetch. Afterward, I love nothing more than cuddling up for some quality time. My energy is infectious and I promise to keep you laughing with my funny antics. Loyalty is my middle name, and I promise to be your faithful companion. I get along well with other dogs, but I'd like to meet any resident dogs before moving in, just to make sure we'll be best pals. Adopting me means gaining a loyal, playful, and loving friend who will always be there to brighten your day.

Ebony is also eligible for foster care, sign up to foster here! https://forms.gle/oknYBjKJVYuQyb3D7

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.
