My story

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

Riley came from a hoarding situation where 146 dogs were found to be living

Because of her background Riley will need a special adopter that understands she will need a little more patience with housetraining, she may be a flight risk, she has some separation anxiety, and she is required to go to a home with another dog (or she could be adopted with her friend Tallulah)

Email adoptions@southsuburbanhumane.org with any questions! We want to make the process of adopting a new pet as stress-free as possible.

All pets adopted from SSHS go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on routine vaccinations.

More about this shelter

The South Suburban Humane Society (SSHS) incorporated in 1970 as a small group of volunteers who brought homeless pets into their homes and worked to find them permanent homes. From those humble origins, we grew to a 501c3 nonprofit organization operating a 19,000 square foot animal resource campus in Matteson, IL that takes in more than 4,000 pets annually, a Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic, a Low-Cost Veterinary Services Clinic, and a variety of far-reaching community services. The SSHS annually impacts 20,000 pets and the people who love them through these programs.
