My story

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

Meet Kiwi, our precious senior chihuahua mix. Kiwi is 8 years old and weighs just 9lbs. She is shy at first, but once she knows you, she just wants to be with you. She will follow staff around and climb into their lap if they sit on the floor. Kiwi can often be found curled up underneath her blanket taking a nice nap. Kiwi would love a cozy and quiet retirement home to call her own! Kiwi hasn't seemed to mind some of the other mellow small dogs she's met at the shelter. She had a sleepover at a staff member's house and did very well. She is very content curled up in a lap or laying right beside you.

Kiwi has a grade 4 heart murmur and an enlarged heart. Our vet recommended we follow up with a cardiac ultrasound, which showed Kiwi has mild heart failure. They prescribed her Enalapril and Vetmedin, which Kiwi happily takes in a pill pocket or cheese.

More about this shelter

As Will County’s original no-kill shelter we’ve been serving the area for over 40 years with a single purpose, provide a safe haven for homeless pets and help them find their forever home.

Every day of the year we care for up to 30 homeless dogs and 60 cats looking for their forever homes. We provide for their general health care, shelter and well being through our network of volunteers and resources.

It’s important that you know that we’re a private shelter 501(3)(c) not-for-profit that receives no federal or local government dollars to run our facility and care for pets. In fact the shelter relies on generous donations from people just like you to make it all happen.
