Do you want to add to your family and have a positive impact on the Rockford community at the same time? Maybe it's time to adopt a pet! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and shelters still working to place pets with families. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home across Illinois — and many are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for your new friend is at Paws Humane Society, where Charley 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. 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 dog person, you might like Cow, a Pit Bull 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.
