My story

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

Meet sweet Dooley. His family had to make the very hard choice to return him due to health issues, and it was important for them to share everything they could to help him find a great home.
Dooley absolutely loves toys! He knows how to play fetch with a ball. Throw and he will bring it back to you!
Dooley knows commands – Sit ( using hand motion of all fingers gathered together - while pulling up) stay ( using hand motion of stop), come, No, and go home (crate), go pee, and come back. He is house-trained and is very smart! He can learn and be trained in other things as well (he is food-motivated). He has lived with children and elderly people.
Dooley is a LOVE BUG. He is a big boy, but he is an even bigger baby. He cuddles, runs with you, greets you at the door, and protects you and your home.
He is stubborn at times, but super loveable.
He has lived with a dog but is selective with his friends so a meet-and-greet would be required to make sure its a good fit.

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.
