This article was submitted by the Romeoville Humane Society: Mandy is a sweet 2 1/2-year-old female rat terrier who will steal your heart: Hi! My name is Mandy and not only am I totally adorable but I'm very sweet, too! I am a little shy, but I quickly overcome my shyness and convert to lap dog so you can rub my belly and cuddle with me. Make sure I know when you are ready to take a nap so I can lay with you, I do love that when I'm not cozy sleeping in my cage which is my comfy place as I do enjoy my own space on occasion. Other than catching a few zzzz's with you, I am very good with not jumping up onto furniture. I only bark on rare occasions and am relatively quiet otherwise.

This 6-year-old chihuahua is available for adoption through the Romeoville Humane Society.

This article was submitted by the Romeoville Humane Society: Gabby is a 6-year-old sweet and cuddly female chihuahua who will melt your heart: In a nutshell, this little peanut is a loveable sweetie pie! Gabby likes being pampered and spoiled and prefers to spend as much time as possible on your lap being pet. As much as she is cuddly, she is just as playful and enjoys to wrestle. One of her greatest traits - she doesn't bark much! Gabby gets along with other dogs, but most of her encounters were all with larger dogs and none her own size. She has had no exposure to cats.
