HOW DO WE HELP PETS IN NEED?
NAWS is a 501c3 no-kill humane society with a Mission to change the face of animal welfare.
Until there are appropriate regulations at the federal and state levels to help eliminate the overpopulation and suffering of companion animals, we must find other ways to help.
NAWS is fully committed to working toward spaying and neutering all dogs and cats. We do this by providing those surgeries in our Animal Clinic at a low cost to everyone.
NAWS also rehomes over 2,500 homeless pets each year, and we pride ourselves on the fact that many of our adoptions are for senior or medical needs pets.
NAWS is not an animal shelter, we are a humane society that has cats and dogs available for adoption. Our dogs, puppies and kittens are primarily located in foster homes, and most of our adult cats are housed at the NAWS Campus and at PetSmart in Mokena, IL.
Adoption fees vary depending on age, health, temperament, and breed. Adoption fees include the pet's spay/neuter surgery, microchip, heartworm test (for dogs) or FeLV/FIV test (for cats), fecal tests, dewormings, vaccines, and any other vetting that takes place prior to adoption.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.
