Looking to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter! During the COVID-19 pandemic, many shelters in the Rockville area are still working to fulfill adoptions.
For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for your new companion is at Knine Rescue Inc, where Drake the dog is waiting patiently, or another local adoption center. 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 round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a cat person, meet Amanda, a Tabby 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.
