Adopt A Pet From Peoria Area Shelters: New Pets Added This Week
Want to add to your family and give back to the Peoria community at the same time? Maybe it's the right time to adopt a pet! Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and facilities still working to fulfill adoptions.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home throughout Illinois — many of whom are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for an adorable new friend is at Peoria Animal Welfare Shelter, where Neville the cat is waiting patiently, or another local facility. 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 LATTE, 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.
