Adopt A Pet From Los Gatos Area Shelters: New Pets Added This Week
Want to add a new member to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, animal shelters in the Los Gatos area have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
Across California, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — and many of them are located not too far from you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for a new family member is at The Rabbit Haven, where Ripley the rabbit 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 Peter, a Domestic Medium 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.
