Alumni Club Membership

Once a pet is accepted into the NAWS adoption program, they spend their time preparing for their future lives through training and socialization at our University and Alumni Club.

Once a pet is adopted, they automatically become a lifetime member of the NAWS Alumni Club. The purpose of the club is to provide a "home away from home" with an extended family for the rest of our pets' lives. Once a rescue pet is accepted into our program, they are a member of our NAWS family forever.

The Alumni Club is being built for our adoptables and adoptees, therefore membership will allow our adopters to utilize Alumni Club Services at an affordable rate, and will provide them with resources to continue caring for their pets.

Alumni Club Non-Member Services

Only NAWS adoptees are able to become Alumni Club Members, however, non-members may utilize club facilities and services as guests if space is available.

Our Resale Shop is Moving!

We are moving our Resale Shop from the rural community of Momence to Midlothian so we can be closer to home.  The move will take place in May and we will be open by June 1.  More to come on that!
