Want to add to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter or organization. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to place pets with families.
For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for your new friend is at Fluff, where York the cat is waiting patiently, or another local adoption center. If you aren’t sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in appropriate homes.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a cat person, meet Antoinette, a Turkish Angora mix up for adoption. If dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
