Canton-Sixes Pets Now Up For Adoption: Rudolph, Lopez, Tank & More
Looking to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the Canton-Sixes community at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter or organization! Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, animal shelters in Canton-Sixes and environs have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home in Georgia — and many of them are located within driving distance. In the search for a new family pet, consider looking around at a local adoption center like Atlanta Humane Society, where Scamp 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 appropriate homes.
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 dog person, meet Rudolph, an English Bulldog mix up for adoption. 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.
