While behavior problems are one of the leading causes pets are surrendered to shelters, these problems can typically be resolved through training and management. South Suburban Humane Society's Behavior Helpline is a FREE consultation service for anyone having problems with their pets. Our goal is to help keep pets where they are happiest- in their homes.
