Tour Our Shelter

Tours include a discussion about the Naperville Area Humane Society and a full behind-the-scenes tour of our facility for groups totaling 10 people or less. Tours are usually 1 hour long and can be tailored to cover a particular aspect or topic, if desired.

INFORMATION:

 

Tour Fees: $10 donation per person

 

Tours are offered year-round by appointment only and dates sometimes fill up very quickly. We ask that you schedule tours at least one month in advance.

 

Space is limited! We require at least 2 adult chaperones attend to help supervise any children.

 

Some groups elect to do a service project and collect supplies for the Naperville Area Humane Society. Please visit our Wish List to learn more about what items are needed.

We are very limited on space inside the shelter and in the parking lot, therefore we kindly ask that only those attending the tour be in attendance. For groups tours, please notify parents they are required to drop off and pick up and will not be able to wait in the shelter or parking lot!

 

Scouting groups interested in completing a patch or badge should check out our Scout Patch Program!
