Want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Perhaps it's time to adopt a pet! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, facilities have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting to be adopted. Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many of them are located in your area. In the search for your new fur child, consider starting at a local shelter like Animal Protective League, where Ryo 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. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. 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 Brinley, 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.
