Description

Do you want to add a new member to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Perhaps it's the right time to adopt a pet! Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to fulfill adoptions. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home in Missouri — many of whom are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for a lovable new fur child is at Rescue One, where Lark 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. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We round up 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 Chester, a Boxer 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.
