My story

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

Irish is a 6-year-old beauty who is looking for a quiet home where she can be herself. Although she’s currently acting a bit like a wallflower at the shelter, her history tells a different story!

In her previous home, Irish was known to be quite the player—she loves her toys and her playtime once she feels comfortable. She’s looking for an adopter who understands that the best things in life are worth waiting for. With a gentle hand and a predictable routine, Irish will reward your patience with loyalty and fun.

If you're interested in adopting this animal, please come meet them at our shelter (1242 Lombard St.)! Our adoption hours are Tuesdays and Saturdays from 12-5pm, and Wednesdays and Fridays from 12-7pm. No appointment is necessary!

Additional adoption info

Morris Animal Refuge has a holistic open adoptions policy that seeks to find the best home for every animal and the best animal for every home. No appointment is required to adopt with us; walk-ins are welcome. We will process your information at the time of adoption and in most cases your animal can go home with you on the same day. Adoptions are same-day, first-come-first-served. We cannot hold animals for pick-up at a later date.

When you arrive at the refuge, please bring a valid photo ID and cash or card to pay the adoption fee.

It is encouraged, but not required, that you bring any children, current dogs, or other members of your household to meet the dog you are interested in adopting.

If you are interested in adopting a cat, please do not bring any other pets with you. Because cats require slow introductions to new animals the shelter setting is not a good place for them to meet new potential furry family members.

All animals adopted from Morris Animal Refuge are:
– Spayed/Neutered
– Up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations
– Treated for fleas and most intestinal parasites
– Microchipped
– Cared for by our loving staff until they find their forever homes!

Please be aware that we are unable to begin an adoption less than 30 minutes prior to closing.

This will alert our volunteers and ensure someone is available to assist you. While this is not required, it is recommended.
