Appleton Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Thor, Juliette, Benji & More
Want to add a new member to your family and have a positive impact on the Appleton community at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, animal shelters in Appleton and environs have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home in Wisconsin — many of whom are located within driving distance. In the search for your new companion, consider checking out a local adoption center like Saving Paws Animal Rescue, where Augustus the dog 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.
If you 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. Whether you're a dog person, or if cats are more your thing, there are several great options available. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
