My story

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

My oh my! It is quite the task trying NOT to fall in love with Gimlet, but he is incredibly persuasive! This handsome boy is nothing but a lover and has been the bestest boy for us at the shelter. While he is large, he doesn`t mind not being the one in charge. For his size, his leash manners are immaculate! He simply likes to prance around spreading his good nature with everyone here. Gimlet is the perfect mix of playful and docile. He sits very patiently for treats, and he LOVES a good game of tug! Squeaky toys are his absolute favorite! I could go on and on about how Gimlet is the one for you and your family, but this one you just have to see for yourself. Stop by to meet him 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.
