Meet Luigi!💙

This sweet boy is a 40 pound wire-haired Terrier Mix who came to NAWS to avoid euthanasia. This sweet, shy boy is growing braver by the day and really starting to come out of his shell! He is currently in a foster home, where is his silly, playful, puppy-like personality has began to flourish! He loves playing with his foster brother, playing with his toys and curling up on the couch with his foster family. He loves having a yard to run and play in. Luigi is great with other dogs and would need a canine companion in his new home to play with and help him continue building his confidence. He doesn’t seem to mind kitties, either! Luigi would do well with kids who can be gentle with him and understand the importance of giving him a little space while he gets comfortable.

This little guy has so much love to give and is ready for someone to help him continue coming out of his shell. Luigi is ready for his forever home!

💙Want to meet Luigi? Stop by Petco in New Lenox this Sunday from 11am-1pm!💙

If you would like to meet Luigi, please submit an Adoption Application at the link below⬇️ or contact [email protected] to get in touch with our team.

Woodhouse is sweet and curious. He has the classic personality you hope for in a kitten - playful, energetic and always interested in what is happening around him. He is affectionate and social.

Cheryl is sweet and adorable but also fearless. She is the leader of the pack that has a bit of kitten mischief in her - she will surely keep you entertained and on your toes! She enjoys attention and affection.

Ray Gillette is an adorable, tender-hearted little fellow. Once he is comfortable and feels safe, he shows his sweet nature. He is more timid than his siblings, but playing with toys and being around his friends makes him more confident. He would do best in a home with a brave kitty friend to learn from.
