My story

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

Pretty girl Marcella is new to us, but has already made a Christmas wish list that we just had to share. First and foremost, she wants a family that can understand how scary it is to meet new people! Marcella is a nervous girl upon first meeting, but nevertheless will be the light of your life when she warms up. She was scared of us at first, and now she runs the place! Secondly, she would love to have a sibling with paws to help her build her confidence. Marcella is dog friendly, and can`t imagine living the rest of her life without a like-minded companion! Lastly, because she can be shy, she would prefer a home with older children--she feels more comfy with larger hoomans! With very few items on her wish list, we think making Marcella`s Christmas miracle come true would be so easy with you. Stop by and meet this beauty today!

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.
