West Suburban Humane Society

The West Suburban Humane Society (WSHS) is a private, no-kill, volunteer-based, animal welfare organization that was founded in 1972 as a lost-and-found referral service and is 100% funded by individuals, our business partners and private grants. The West Suburban Humane Society is dedicated to operating a premier animal shelter for the purpose of finding safe, permanent and compatible homes to adopt domestic dogs and cats.  We are committed to educating and encouraging the public to humanely care for dogs and cats. Downers Grove, Illinois, USA
