Description

Want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the Springfield community at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many shelters in and around Springfield are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in forever homes. Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — many of whom are located in your area. In the search for a lovable new family pet, consider looking around at a local shelter like Animal Protective League, where Morgan 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 in appropriate homes. 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 Zeus, a Parson Russell 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.
