Description

Want to add a furry friend to your family and make a positive impact on the Springfield community at the same time? Perhaps it's time to adopt a pet! Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets with families. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home across Illinois — and many of them are located near you. In the search for a lovable new friend, consider starting at a local adoption center like Sangamon County Animal Control Center, where Oakley 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. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, 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 Toodles, 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.
