My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, I'm Elphaba! However... there is nothing Wicked about me! I am a shy but very sweet young girl. I definitely need your patience as I get used to you and my new home. I also need a "hidey-hut" while I build my confidence. But don't think that means I don't want affection - I LOVE it. If you come to me in my hut, I want major pets on my head, chin, nose, beanz - you get the picture. I will rock and roll with joy and let you rub my belly as much as you want. I also don't mind a treat or two. While I'm not playful yet, I am intrigued by things like laser light, Cat Dancer and string. I like to look out the window and a cat tower with a built-in "cubby" would be great. Come meet me and I'll cast my spell on you to bring me home to your quiet, patient home!

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.
