Description

Want to add a furry friend to your family and have a positive impact on the Springfield community at the same time? Consider adopting a pet from a local shelter. During the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and shelters still working to fulfill adoptions. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home across Missouri — and many of them are located near you. In the search for your new fur child, consider beginning at a local shelter like Humane Society Of Sw Missouri, where Tonya the dog 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 create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a cat person, meet Iago & Maleficent, 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. Iago & Maleficent Name: Iago & Maleficent Species: Cat Location: C Dot Ar Dot E Animal Rescue, 1328 W.
