Events
 Events are a great way for NAHS to reach out to our community and raise much-needed funds to advance our mission. Our Summer golf outing, Putts for Pets, is always a popular event in June. In October, our annual dinner dance and silent auction attracts Naperville's movers and shakers who support the shelter.
We hope you join us at one of these great events! If you would like to help us promote or stage these events, please contact our Executive Director, Linda Linford .

Dr. Harper is a book author, international speaker and a clinical psychologist for over 20 years.

Why does she scratch the drapes when I come home from work? All these questions and more will be answered in this informative, must attend seminar. Come join us, the secrets of the mysterious cat will be reveled! Join us at the Naperville Municipal Center at 6:30 PM.
