Our Mission

The South Suburban Humane Society promotes the well-being of pets and the people who love them in the Metro Chicago region. We care for and shelter animals in need of protection. We provide pet care resources to our communities and promote the human-pet bond through adoption services. Our targeted, high-impact spay/neuter policies address pet homelessness and overpopulation. We strive to create a better world for pets and their people.​
