Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization! During the COVID-19 pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to place pets with families. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home across Missouri — and many of them are located within driving distance. In the search for an adorable new family pet, consider beginning at a local animal shelter like Rescue One, where Winnie Betsy 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. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, meet Benny, a Terrier 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.
