Description

Want to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the Athens community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, shelters in the Athens area have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home throughout Georgia — and many of them are located not too far from you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for a lovable new fur child is at Athenspets, where Turbo the cat 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 permanent homes. 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, meet Chaco, a Labrador Retriever 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. Editor's note: This list was automatically generated using data compiled by Petfinder.
