Elmhurst Pets Waiting To Be Adopted: Zoey & More
Want to add to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Maybe it's the right time to adopt a pet! During the coronavirus pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and shelters still working to fulfill adoptions.
In the search for a new companion, consider beginning at a local animal shelter. 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 round up 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 Zoey, a Pit Bull Terrier 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.
