NAWS is a 501c3 No-Kill Humane Society dedicated to ending pet homelessness and suffering. We strive to change the face of animal welfare by promoting the respect and dignity all animals deserve, while focusing on spaying and neutering to ensure every pet finds a loving home.
We believe in elevating the status of pets in our society and serving those in need. By providing medical care and shelter, we act as a bridge for animals waiting for their forever families, ensuring they receive the kindness and attention they need until that perfect match arrives.
Operating as a No-Kill facility in Mokena, Illinois, we rely on a dedicated team and generous community support to manage our shelter and veterinary clinic. Our approach combines on-site care with a vital foster network, allowing animals to decompress in a home environment while they wait for adoption. Our on-site clinic helps fund these lifesaving efforts by providing affordable veterinary services to the public.
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and our counselors are here to help you find the companion who perfectly fits your lifestyle. Whether you are meeting a cat in our 'Cat Cave' or scheduling an appointment to connect with a dog, our process is designed to be smooth and informative. We take the time to ensure every transition is safe and comfortable for both you and your new family member.
Are you ready to find your forever friend? We invite you to view our adoptable pets online, schedule an appointment to visit our adoption center, or learn more about how you can support our life-saving work through volunteering or donations. Together, we can create a future where every pet is cherished.
