Editor’s note: As the situation regarding coronavirus continues to evolve, some area shelters and foster groups have closed to the public, while others are only open by appointment. Contact them first before showing up.

The Community Star prints adoptable pet information weekly. Area shelters, rescues and foster groups can send contact information along with jpg photos of available pets — using Pets of the Week in the subject line — to news editor Paul Eisenberg at peisenberg@tribpub.com.

PAWS Animal Shelter

8301 W. 191st St., Tinley Park, 815-464-7298, www.pawstinleypark.org

Finn is a 2-year-old beagle mix that was found wandering the streets. A team of volunteers ended up trapping him and bringing him to safety at PAWS Tinley Park. He is scared of leashes and slow to trust new people, but, when he learns you're OK, he is so loving and loyal. Finn likes to lean against his people to know he is safe. Finn will make a wonderful companion for a patient and calm person.

Digger is a happy go lucky guy who loves to play fetch. You will get tired before he does. Digger would love a home where there is room to run and exercise.

Luna is a 1-year-old medium-haired tabby with a bobbed tail who is quiet and reserved, but still loves to play. Luna needs to be in an adult only, cat experienced home because she does not like to be fully pet.

Rizzo loves to snuggle as well as spend time racing around the house when he has the zoomies. He would do best in a home with older childremn, as sometimes his playful behavior involves a little nipping, or a home that appreciates his need to be active.
