Axel is Looking for a Home — Maybe Yours?

Axel is available for adoption from the Romeoville Humane Society.

Submitted by the Romeoville Humane Society: Meet Axel, a 4-year-old male domestic short hair looking for a loving family to call his own: Axel is a very friendly cat. He enjoys receiving attention but is not demanding about it, loves to be pet (especially under his chin!), and will make a nice lap cat.  This nice boy gets excited when his foster mom comes home because he knows it's time for some affection.  There are times he want to hang out and do his own thing, he will let you know he would like some alone time.  He is afraid of dogs and doesn’t interact with other cats by choice.  He would be happy in a one-pet home.  Won't you open your home to Axel and be his fur-ever family? Axel’s adoption fee is $125 which includes his neuter, …

Rocky is Looking for a Home — Maybe Yours?

Rocky is available for adoption from the Romeoville Humane Society.

Submitted by the Romeoville Humane Society: Rocky is a 4-year-old year old male short-coat Chihuahua mix in search of his fur-ever family. He is an awesome little man, not to mention super cute with his big floppy ears! His foster family absolutely adores him, as he has taken to snuggling on the couch with the family as they watch TV and curling up next to his foster mom at bedtime. His favorite toy is a stuffed bunny that he likes to carry with him around the house and he likes to play with other dogs.  He is very happy to go on walks with his head held high.  And he's quite the dancer too - if you tell him to dance he starts spinning around, it's very cute. Once Rocky bonds with you, he follows you about and even waits for you if you …

Lulu Is Looking for a Home — Maybe Yours?

Lulu is another adoptable pet from the Romeoville Humane Society.

Submitted by the Romeoville Humane Society: Meet Lulu, a sweet 3-year-old female Chihuahua/dachshund mix who wants nothing more than to be a full-time lap dog. Lulu is a very timid little girl who is in the process of being housebroken. She has been afraid to be on a leash but is getting a little better each time. If it were up to her, she would be held in your arms or sitting on your lap 24/7; she prefers this to running around the house. If you look in the dictionary under "LAP DOG" you will see a picture of Lulu.   She does not bark. This sweetheart is afraid of loud noises and would be best in a home with no small children who would most likely increase her fear. She is good with other dogs her size and we expect she would be fine with…

Pistol Is Looking for a Home — Maybe Yours?

The pooch is just one of the adoptable pets from the Romeoville Humane Society.

Submitted by the Romeoville Humane Society: Pistol, a 4-month-old female Australian cattle dog/border collie mix, is in search of her forever family. This cute little girl has a name that says is all! She is quite the character and as a young pup is easily excitable. With the exception of the occasional excited "leak," she is housetrained and does her business outside like a good girl. Pistol is very active and LOVES to play, by herself or with other dogs for as long as they will play with her. She has learned to be nice to cats, she only sniffs at them and wants to play with them. There is never too much attention or affection you can give her — her foster family is currently working with her so she does not jump up on people as she …

Both like grooming time and get excited when they see the brush.

This extremely sweet and loving boy got his name from his constant purring. He is super affectionate and always wants to be around his people. He will follow you around, and wants to come with you when you walk out the door. He's always looking over his shoulder to make sure you are still there with him.

I am what you may call a high-strung lady, but have come such a long way and am learning to relax and like people thanks to all the patience and love of my foster mom. I prefer just to hang out but do enjoy affection from those I trust when I'm ready for lovin'. Kids I tolerate, I will come out if they are around but don't want them to pick me up. I like kittens, and I raised many of my own, but I don't interact with older cats much and am very afraid of dogs. I …

Fredo is Looking for a Home — Maybe Yours?

Another adoptable pet from the Romeoville Humane Society.

She is affectionate and loves attention from you, but in new surroundings must first get acclimated and over her initial shyness as she may retreat into hiding until she feels comfortable.

Jethro is an adoptable pet available at the Romeoville Humane Society.

Article submitted by the Romeoville Humane Society: Meet Jethro, a handsome and well-behaved 10-month-old male blue pit bull mix ready to become part of your family:  I'm Jethro and if you are looking for a totally awesome dog - here I am! Playful you ask? Yes, I am, very much so. I am good with children and other dogs and even cats (though I may chase a cat but just for play). As a young boy I have lots of energy. Don't forget I am a strong breed so be prepared for me to grow into a very muscular adult. On the flip side, I am very loving and cuddly so make time for some snuggling because I really enjoy it.
