Adopt A Pet From Franklin Area Shelters: New Pets Added This Week
Looking to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the Franklin community at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, shelters have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting to be adopted.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home across Tennessee — many of whom are located near you. In the search for a lovable new family pet, consider starting at a local animal shelter like Williamson County Animal Center, where Hazel 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 in permanent homes.
Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. 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 Eli, a Labrador Retriever 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.
