Want to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and shelters still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets with families. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for a lovable new fur child is at Illinois Humane, where Kimmy the cat is waiting patiently, or another local 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 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 Oreo, an Akita 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.
