Want to have some fun with your dog this summer? Suburban K9 and West Suburban Humane Society will be offering a 6 week Beginner Obedience Class, a 6 week Beginner Agility Class and a 6 week Advanced Obedience class. 

When the West Suburban Humane Society rescued Chip, a German Shorthaired Pointer, he had been living outside at the end of a chain. He rarely received attention and could move only as far as the chain would allow him. So when he came to live at the shelter, we were thrilled to give him the love and exercise he so desperately needed.

“I wish I could take all of them home!”

 That’s what you say, walking through the shelter, looking at the cats and dogs who need loving, forever families. You may choose one to save, but the others remain, and you think of their small, vulnerable faces in kennels and cages.
