This Week's Pets: PAWS' Unofficial Mascot and 2 BFFs

Misha is best known as the dog that hangs out behind the PAWS Animal Shelter counter. Jay Jay and Charlee have been together for 4 years.

Misha has stayed with PAWS Animal Shelter in Tinley Park for more than a year. She's a lovable boxer who usually can be found hanging out with the people who run the shelter's front counter. Some remodeling work at the animal shelter has put her back in the kennels with the rest of the dogs. But that change of pace hasn't ruined this delightful animal's demeanor. Misha is eight years old, quiet and obedient. She's also adorable, in this editor's humble opinion. Doesn't that sound like a great combination? If your home has room for a couple new additions, you might want to take a look at best friends Jay Jay and Charlee. Charlee is a gorgeous, 4-year-old West Highland White Terrier who can do some tricks. His pal is Jay Jay, a Chihuahua mix…

Meet Scarlett, an adorable mix of great breeds who likes to play fetch.

Scarlett is a two-and-half year old Boxer Lab mix, with reddish brown fur, and a lot of love to give. She's been with PAWS Animal Shelter in Tinley Park since November when she was found as a stray.

It is a good thing I don't live alone (and that my landlord has a two-cat limit) because my place would have a cat for every room. But I do wish I could take Snuggle home...   more ›

This Week's Pet: Can PAWS Give You the Sweetest Taboo?

That's the name of this 9-year-old domestic long hair cat, but there's nothing forbidden about her.

Taboo, unfortunately, has become a familiar cat around the PAWS Animal Shelter. This 9-year-old domestic long hair cat was adopted earlier in the year, but she was returned in October when things didn't work out between her and her owner. But that doesn't mean she wouldn't make a nice addition to someone else's home. Taboo might be an older feline, but she has a lot of energy and loves to play (just check out the video in the media gallery). She's a litter box-trained cat who is spayed and up to date on her shots. And even though she's playful, Taboo isn't overly aggressive or a biter. Looking for more adoptable pets?
