Hi there, I'm Tiny! There is nothing tiny about my heart and the love that I'll bring to my new family. I am such a sweet boy who just needs a little time and space to come out of my shell. The way to help me adapt will be to get me a hidey hut and a few crunchy treats. And then just hang out with me. Ease into petting my head, and within a very short time, I will be pressing my entire face and head into your hand. Put your head down and I'll give it full forehead bops with my own head. I am really the biggest flirt and with a few taps, I'll likely come out a little for more face and head rubs, then back into my hut, then out again. From my hut, I'll also start playing, so teasing me with a string or Cat Dancer will really pique my interest. I can almost not take my eyes off a laser light even if I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it. I like being brushed and I'm so sweet, I'd be surprised if I wouldn't end up being pretty snuggly. I'd be great with kids if they are old enough to understand that I need to get used to my new life. Are you ready to bring this big-hearted Tiny home?! I hope so!

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.
