Dedicated to the Community
Dear Friends,
Thirty-five years ago, it began with one
person’s vision to make life better for pets
in Naperville. Back in 1979, Ardis McCallion,
a long-time animal lover, could not turn a
blind eye to the reality that there was no
one to help homeless pets in Naperville.
Understanding a need existed, she put
a call out for other animal lovers to join
her. The group began meeting in Ardis’
basement and fostering pets in their
homes.
Naperville Area Humane Society was
officially incorporated on August 17, 1979.
For ten years, this all-volunteer group
fostered homeless and unwanted pets,
held bake sales and garage sales to raise
money and became the voice for animals
in Naperville. After much hard work and
a lot of fundraising, the shelter was built
on Diehl Road and the doors opened in
early 1989. Still very much a volunteer-run
organization, the group quickly organized
volunteers in shifts and began the arduous
task of running the shelter and caring for
homeless pets.
Over the last twenty-five years, Naperville
Area Humane Society has become more
than just the shelter on Diehl Road. Now
an organization with ten staff members,
each bringing her own passion and skills
to further the mission, Naperville Area
Humane Society is a vital and present
member of the Naperville community.

We are proud to partner with Loaves &
Fishes Community Pantry to ensure that
people have the food they need for their
pets. After all, the goal is for pets to stay in
their homes, keeping families united.
Our reading program, Paws for Tales, has
been embraced by seventeen local schools
and libraries, including many in Districts
203 and 204, as well as all three Naperville
Public Library branches. In addition, our
humane education manager and education
volunteers regularly visit classrooms in the
community to share lessons on character
education, pet safety, kindness,
compassion and empathy.
The senior citizens in our community
enjoy regular visits from our dedicated Pet
Therapy volunteers and their dogs. In fact,
more than 80 visits each month are made
Angie Wood, executive director
to area nursing homes and rehabilitation
communities bringing joy and comfort to
those in need.
Our Behavior Helpline is available to any
pet owner facing challenges. We would
like to work with people to solve problems
before they reach the breaking point and
decide to surrender their pet.
Since 1999, another service NAHS has been
providing is temporary care for the pets
of families facing difficult times, whether
it is domestic violence or homelessness.
Through our Safe Pets Program we are
able to keep families together long-term
thereby creating lasting human-animal
bonds.
As we celebrate our 35th anniversary
this year, I am proud to be a part of an
organization that has grown from fostering
pets in homes to providing life-saving and
life-changing programs and services to the
Naperville and surrounding communities.
But we need your help. It takes many hands
and hearts to do this work. There are many
different ways to get involved at NAHS.
Adopt, donate, or volunteer! Become a
part of this great community resource by
finding a way to get involved that works for
you.
Warm regards,
Angie Wood
Executive Director

Last summer, Stephanie Shallcross’ daughter, Claire,
attended one of our camps at the shelter. She came
home every day talking about all she learned and
accomplished during that session. By the end, Claire
told her mother that “it was the best camp she had
ever been to”. From that moment on, the Shallcross
family knew they needed to be involved with NAHS
long term. That’s when they learned about our
foster program and the need for families to help.
This past winter, the Shallcross family welcomed
a very scared and pregnant lab mix, Soonie, into
their home and helped make her comfortable until
she was ready to have her puppies. Not only did
the family care for Soonie and sit with her during
the birth of her nine puppies, they cared for the puppies until they were strong
enough to find their forever homes. Which happened very quickly!
Fostering is truly a rewarding experience. Whether it’s orphaned kittens too young
for adoption, an adult dog or cat needing a break from shelter life, or a mother dog,
like Soonie, with puppies, foster homes are vital to the survival of animals in need.
As the Shallcross family can tell you, foster
families are able to bond with the animals
in their care and discover what makes them
special. This intimate knowledge gives potential
adopters a good picture of an animal’s
personality and helps to make sure that each
animal becomes a permanent member of the
family in their forever home. The Shallcross
family saw Soonie was loving with all members
of the family, and even after all she had been
through, was simply the sweetest dog. This was valuable information we were able
to share with potential adopters.
Mission
Our mission is to promote the humane
treatment of companion animals and create
lasting human-animal bonds.
What’s involved in fostering at NAHS?
Foster families care for each animal and help
them feel more comfortable and allow them to
be themselves. Families feed, socialize, groom,
train, and sometimes medicate the animals in
their care for the duration of the foster period.
They ultimately provide a safe, comfortable, stable
environment, and the tender loving care each
animal deserves.
Vision
Our vision is to engage people to
compassionately and responsibly create a more
humane world.
If you have additional questions about our foster volunteer program, please
contact Becky Wyatt, volunteer program manager, at (630) 420-8989 ext. 113, or
[email protected].
Values
We strive to deliver services to our community
that reflect our integrity, respect, compassion
and joy for all people and animals.
If you think you’re ready to become part of our life-saving foster community, you

you’ve completed the Foster Parent Program Application, you can fax it to us
(630-420-9380) scan and email it to [email protected],
hand-deliver it, or send it through the mail.

Whiskers and Tails, Spring 2014
Stephanie shares, “I can honestly say, fostering is one of the most
rewarding things we have ever done. Many people have said to
us, ‘I couldn’t do it, I would get too attached.’ The truth is you do
get attached, you get very attached. But there’s nothing wrong
with that. You take them in, you love them, and you know that
one day they will have to leave you. Yet, you know that they are
going to their forever homes.
Homes where they will be loved and safe and that you were a
very important, critical step in that process. Knowing that you
had a hand in saving a life is an incredible feeling, one that I can’t
even put into words.”
A special thank you to Stephanie Schallcross for sharing this story
with us and continuing to be a wonderful advocate for homeless
pets and NAHS.
Update on Soonie
It did not take long for Soonie and the Martin family to find each other!
Soonie, now Sadie, was welcomed into her new home with open arms,
and everyone could not be more thrilled and in love.
The Martin family says Sadie loves car rides and
playing in the snow. Sadie has grown into a
playful and easy-going dog. Dawn Martin, Sadie’s
new mommy, shares:
“We would like to thank the wonderful foster
family for taking such good care of her and her
pups, and the Naperville Area Humane Society
for your great care. Sadie is a joy and a welcome
addition to our family!”
Thank you Martin family for sharing with us and, most importantly, for
giving Sadie a warm and loving home!
Calling All Volunteers
If you or someone you know loves to help care
for animals, work with kids, network around the
community, or has a passion for raising awareness and
funds to support NAHS, we have just the opportunities
for you!
We are also looking for families interested in fostering. Foster
families bond with animals in their care and can provide
potential adopters a good picture of an animal’s personality. If
you are interested in fostering, please email Becky at
[email protected].
If fundraising is one of your favorite skills, you may
be interested in joining one of our three event-based
committees: Volunteer Fundraising, Putts for Pets, or
our Black Cat Ball.
The Pet Therapy program takes you and your dog, or one of
our shelter dogs, to visit area senior centers. You and the pups
are sure to bring smiles to some faces! For more information
contact Becky at [email protected].
To learn more about these committees, email Ellie at
[email protected].
Our shelter couldn’t save as many lives as we do each year
without the daily shelter volunteers. To learn about the
available tasks and times, please visit our website at
www.NapervilleAreaHumaneSociety.org, and click on ‘How You
Can Help’ and choose volunteering.
If you and your dog enjoy working with kids, Paws
for Tales may be for you! Visit our website for the
requirements, or email Terri at

Lizzy Talk
How to be Your Senior Dog’s Best Friend
Lizzy, Age 12
Support Lizzy’s Fund
Any donations to “Lizzy’s Fund”
at the Naperville Area Humane
Society between March 1st and
May 31, 2014 will be matched
100 percent by Lizzy’s owners.
If you can’t adopt a senior dog,
what a wonderful gesture it
would be to help senior dogs at
the shelter! Please write “Lizzy’s
Fund” in the memo section of
your check. Thank you!
A common question is “what age is a senior
dog?” Average size dogs are considered
seniors at 7 years of age. Large breed dogs
can be considered seniors at age 5 while
small dogs are not considered seniors
until around age 10. Here are some ways to
maintain the health and happiness of your
senior dog:
Ways to Maintain a Senior Dog’s Health
and Happiness:
1. Take time for basic care. Clipping
of nails, brushing their fur, basic
hygiene, heartworm preventative
and flea protection should be part
of your senior’s regular care. Even if
you take your dog in for an annual
exam, remember, one year in your
calendar may be 7 years in a dogs life.
Most humans cannot go for seven
years between health visits, so more
frequent visits may be necessary.
2. Have baseline tests done. A full blood
panel should be done by age 7. This
will give you a baseline reading for
your pet to compare future tests to.
3. Watch the weather. Senior dogs are
more sensitive to weather extremes
and may not tolerate high heat or very
cold temperatures. Consider a sweater
in the winter and perhaps a shorter
haircut in the summer.
4. Look in your dog’s mouth. Periodontal
diseases are common in dogs and
may lead to heart disease or other
problems.
5. Monitor your dog’s weight. An
overweight dog can have more health
problems which can affect their quality
of life.
Why not Enrich your Life and Adopt a
Senior dog?
One of the most important things to
remember is if you could make room in
your heart and home for a wonderful senior
dog is to visit the Naperville Area Humane
Society. Check online or visit the shelter to
see if you could give a wonderful mature
dog a forever home.
Lizzy was a long haired Chihuahua that
lived a rich 16-1/2 years after getting
a second chance at age 9. Lizzy’s Fund
provides all vet, grooming, dental, and even
the adoption fees for seniors, aged 7 or
older.
Our Partners for Paws membership
program ensures the financial strength of
our organization and bonds NAHS with
