Our mission is to promote the humane treatment of companion animals and create lasting human-animal bonds.



In 1979, a small group of us gathered to make a reality come true for lost and unwanted animals who needed a safe and secure place while waiting for their chance at a “forever” home. Today, Ray and I continue to be proud and active members of the Naperville Area Humane Society because of the wonderful care and compassion provided to thousands of wonderful animals.
