SPECIALTY ADOPTION PROGRAMS

PETS FOR PATRIOTS

Naperville Area Humane Society has partnered with Pets for Patriots to support the adoption of the most overlooked shelter animals by veterans in its community. This partnership aligns with Naperville Area Humane Society’s mission to create lasting human-animal bonds which inspired us to join forces with Pets for Patriots. The adoption fees for animals that meet the program requirements will be waived by the Naperville Area Humane Society.

*Must provide proof of program approval

VETERANS

In Illinois, House Bill 2500 offers U.S. Military veterans the opportunity to adopt shelter cats and dogs at no cost. This program applies to all available animals at the Naperville Area Humane Society.

To qualify, veterans must present a current and valid driver’s license, Illinois Identification Card, or Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Card with the word "veteran" printed on it at the time of adoption to receive the waived adoption fee.
