Pets of the Week: Fox Valley shelters offer dogs and cats for adoption
November 12, 2012 5:18PM
Mrs. White is a 3-month old terrier mix who was transferred in from an overrun shelter in Oklahoma. She is very shy and will need someone very patient to help build her confidence. She’s sweet and loving and will do great in a family with kids at least 12 years old, another dog or possibly a cat. More dogs and cats are available at the Naperville Area Humane Society. All the animals have been examined for health and temperament, started on their vaccines and microchipped. They are spayed or neutered at adoption. Hours are 5 to 8 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays, 1 to 6 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays and noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Visit at 1620 W. Diehl Rd. in Naperville or online at www.napervilleareahumanesociety.org.
