Want to add to your family and make a positive impact on the Jackson community at the same time? Maybe it's the right time to adopt a pet! During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many facilities in the Jackson area are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home throughout Mississippi — and many of them are located not too far from you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for your new fur child is at Jackson Friends Of Animal Shelter, where Bentley the dog is waiting patiently, or another local animal shelter. 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. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. 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, you might like Heartly, a Pit Bull Terrier up for adoption. Or 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.
