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

Foster to adopt requirement.
Hi there, I'm Ernie! I’m an intelligent, sweet, and goofy young guy with a big heart and an even bigger personality. I’m affectionate, treat-motivated, and always ready to play. I love long walks, sniffing every corner of the world, and rolling around in the grass on a sunny day—it’s pure bliss!
Power chewer toys and stuffed Kong's are some of my favorite ways to relax, and I’m a big fan of enrichment activities after a full day of fun. I already know some tricks like “sit,” “down,” and “let’s go!” But my absolute favorite thing? Hanging out and playing with my fellow canine pals! I’d likely enjoy having a playful dog sibling in my future home—if they’re up for some fun, I definitely am.
I’d be happiest in a home with adults or teens, as my goofy play style might be a bit much for the little ones. I’m looking for a patient and understanding family who can help me settle into home life with a consistent routine. If you have experience with large, energetic, high-drive dogs, that would be best!
I’m eager to keep learning and growing, so sticking to a training routine will be super important for me. I just need the right home to thrive. Oh, and did I mention? I’m also on the hunt for a comfy couch to snuggle on next to you.
If you think we’d make a great match, call the shelter and set up a time to meet me. I can’t wait to meet you!

Dog and cat adoptions are the cornerstone of our mission and services. After more than 40 years of sheltering animals and placing them into loving homes, our work is still not done. There are thousands of animals in shelters waiting for homes across the Chicagoland area. We hope you will take some time to learn more about our adoption process and meet the pets currently available for adoption.
NAHS strives to make appropriate, permanent matches between adopters and our cat and dog friends. Here is an outline of how the process works:
Visit the shelter during our adoption hours to see if there is an animal that interests you. Walk-ins are allowed to see the cats; dogs are by appointment.
Complete our brief "Pets and People Profile" and discuss it with an adoption counselor to determine if the animal is well suited for your family.

More about this shelter
The Naperville Area Humane Society (NAHS) is a non-profit, limited admission animal shelter accepting cats and dogs. Our shelter can house as many as eighteen dogs and forty cats.
Each animal is tenderly cared for at NAHS. Entering a shelter can be stressful or possibly even terrifying to some cats and dogs. Our dedicated and highly trained staff and over 300 volunteers offer compassionate care to each animal and work to address his or her individual needs.
The staff works diligently to match the needs of each pet with a family eager to adopt a dog or cat. While at NAHS, all animals receive basic vaccinations as well as medical care. All animals are neutered or spayed before being released to their new owners. In addition, dogs’ temperaments are thoroughly assessed before being made available for adoption.
Unfortunately, there continues to be far too many cats and dogs needing help in our society. Since we cannot solve this overwhelming problem ourselves, we have evolved our approach to the homeless animal crisis to include innovative community service initiatives, such as humane education and a behavior helpline, while we continue to re-home animals.
