Description

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 ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many shelters in Springfield and environs are still working to fulfill adoptions. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home across Illinois — many of whom are located near you. In the search for an adorable new friend, consider starting at a local adoption center like Animal Protective League, where Sissy 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. 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 cat person, meet Milo, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or 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.
