Want to add to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Maybe it’s the right time to adopt a pet! Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and shelters still working to fulfill adoptions.
Across Minnesota, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — and many of them are located within driving distance. In the search for a new companion, consider looking around at a local adoption center like For Furever Animal Rescue, where Tiny 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 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 Oliver, 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.
