Description

Want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, facilities in Athens and environs have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting for someone to take them home. In the search for an adorable new family pet, consider looking around at a local adoption center like Athenspets, where Rockie the dog 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 permanent homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we create 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 Sugar, a Mixed Breed 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.
