My story

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

Calling all dog lovers!!! I would like to introduce you all to Joni. Joni has an incredibly welcoming soul, she greets you like she`s met you a million and one times over. She`s a stunner, too; If you looked up the definition of gorgeous, this little lady`s picture would be right there. She melts right into you as that first greeting takes place, and surely, the melting will never stop. Once her excitement settles, she`s as gentle as they come, a true cuddle bug. She likes to lay down on her back and ask for belly rubs while wagging her tail. She is also a true people pleaser, aiming to make you happy with just her presence. As for her favorite treats, she likes everything from pupperoni, to milk bones, to soft treats. As eager as she is to meet you, she`s even more eager to join your family. Don`t hesitate to meet this lovely lady, because she would never hesitate to meet you.

Joni is also eligible for foster care, sign up to foster here! https://forms.gle/oknYBjKJVYuQyb3D7

More about this shelter

The South Suburban Humane Society is a 501(c )(3) organization that was started in 1970, serving the animal welfare needs of the entire south suburbs of Chicago. In the beginning, we handled all rescues, adoptions and provided foster care out of private homes. Since November 1973, our organization has been operating a 10,000 square foot open-door animal shelter in Chicago Heights, Illinois.

For over fifty years, our organization has helped tens of thousands of animals. We offer extensive outreach programs including humane education, and community outreach events. We also operate a resale shop located in Steger, Illinois that promotes our organization, our animals and provide much needed income to support our humane work.

The Mission of the South Suburban Humane Society is to protect and promote the well being of pets and their people in our community and beyond.
