Description

Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, animal shelters in Springfield and environs have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting for someone to take them home. Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many of them are located near you. In the search for an adorable new fur child, consider looking around at a local animal shelter like Animal Protective League, where Max the cat is waiting patiently. 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 dog person, meet Mia, a Husky mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process. Editor's note: This list was automatically generated using data compiled by Petfinder.
