Do you want to add to your family and give back to the Springfield community at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter! Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and facilities still working to place pets with families. Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many are located near you. In the search for a lovable new family pet, consider checking out a local shelter like Sangamon County Animal Control Center, where Manny 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 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 cat person, meet Shrek, a Siamese 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. Editor's note: This list was automatically generated using data compiled by Petfinder.
