My story

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

Hi, I'm Buddy! My name is perfect for me. I am a GREAT buddy to everyone! I am an absolute love bug and am one of the most affectionate kitties you'll ever meet. I might seem a bit shy for about a minute but I will soon present my head to you for lots of pets and MAJOR nose rubs. I love being picked up and held and snuggled. I will sit next to you (or on you) for lots of nose nuzzles. Brushing and belly rubs are amazing and I will help you by flopping and showing off my skinny tummy for rubbing. I would be great with kids but I am not super into playing. I am a little interested in Cat Dancer; I'll flop on it to pin it down. I don't think that's really how it works, but it makes me happy. Here's something that might make you happy. Sometimes when I eat, you might think I'm making a little growl but I'm actually saying "nom nom nom" because I'm really enjoying my food. My friend here recorded it and played it for everyone. It's a little embarrassing, but it makes everyone happy so it's okay. Do you know who else I will make happy? YOU! Please bring home your new Buddy!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.

Animal meet-and-greets are by appointment only. Walk-ins are not permitted.

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.
