This Week's Pets: Calm Clyde and Tame Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell and Clyde are furry balls of calm. If you're looking for a lap cat that'll love you forever, these are the guys for you.

Would you like a pet who won't need much attention? Tinkerbell is an orange tabby cat who is 5-6 years old. She gets along without other pets but will probably do best in a home without any other cats, according to the good people at PAWS Animal Shelter in Tinley Park.

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…

Misha is one of the most loving dogs here at PAWS. Why would you want a puppy when you could adopt a dog who is house trained, obedient, quiet, low maintenance, and content to just "hang out" with a family who loves her? We love that Misha is our mascot at the shelter, but this girl deserves better. Please come visit her at PAWS and see for yourself what a sweetheart she is.   more ›

This Week's Pets: Spirited Kittens Ready to Play

Mittens and Spencer are about a week away from being ready to adopt out in Tinley Park.

What's better than a kitten? How about two? A pair of 4-month-old kittens were recently dropped off at PAWS Animal Shelter in Tinley Park. Mittens and Spencer are about a week away from being ready for adoption. The wonderful people at the shelter need to arrange for a final shot for the black-haired cats before they can go out to a new home. The cats came to PAWS after the previous owner gave them up due to allergies. Both like to play and, as you might expect for young cats, are energetic. Spencer, especially, likes to chase balls around. Potential adopters don't need to take the pair together; the kittens are young enough to adopt separately.

This Week's Pets: Young Cats Want New Friends

Lucy Lou and Stosh are waiting at PAWS Animal Shelter for new homes.

Her playful personality will mesh well with a new owner. Stosh, a 4-year-old domestic short hair, is one of the most easy-going cats you'll meet. He's great with children and is very playful. Stosh also has his front paws declawed. Pets with new homes Here are some success stories from PAWS: Want News Headlines and Updates Delivered to Your Inbox?

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?
