Adorable Adoptable Pets Of The Week At South Austin Area Shelters
Do you want to add a new member to your family and have a positive impact on the South Austin community at the same time? Maybe it's finally time to adopt a pet! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and facilities still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets with families.
Across Texas, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many are located within driving distance. In the search for a new fur child, consider beginning at a local animal shelter like Austin Pets Alive, where Deeply Hidden 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.
Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. 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 Enya, 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.
