Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter or organization. During the COVID-19 pandemic, facilities have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting for someone to take them home. Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many of them are located near you. In the search for a new family pet, consider checking out a local adoption center like Animal Protective League, where Penny 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. If you 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, you might like Gideon, 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.
