Description

Do you want to add to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, animal shelters in Springfield and environs have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting to be adopted. Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — many of whom are located not too far from you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for your new family member is at Forever Home Feline Ranch, where Suzie the cat is waiting patiently, or another local facility. 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 LuLu, 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.
