Description

Do you want to add to your family and do something good for the Springfield community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many facilities in the Springfield area are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in forever homes. In the search for an adorable new fur child, consider beginning at a local animal shelter like Sangamon County Animal Control Center, where Scarlet 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. 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 Dunker, 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.
