East Nashville Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Blitzen, Bluebird, Vixen & More
Want to add to your family and give back to the East Nashville community at the same time? Maybe it's time to adopt a pet! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, many shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions.
For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for a new friend is at Wags And Walks, where Vixen the dog 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 dog person, you might like Blitzen, a Mixed Breed up for adoption. Or 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.
