Gary Pets Who Need A Home: Indiana, Gary; Foster Or Adopt, "Luna", Princess, Simba & More
Looking to add a new member to your family and do something good for the Gary community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many shelters are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through.
Across Indiana, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — many of whom are located within driving distance. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for your new companion is at Humane Society Northwest Indiana, where Simba the cat is waiting patiently, or another local 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.
Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. 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 INDIANA, GARY; FOSTER OR ADOPT, "LUNA", an Anatolian Shepherd 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.
