Hammond Pets Now Up For Adoption: Blackbear, Dumpling, Ken & More
Want to add a new member to your family and give back to the Hammond community at the same time? Perhaps it's the right time to adopt a pet! Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, animal shelters in the Hammond area have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting to be adopted.
For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for an adorable new family member is at Second Chance 4 Pets Network, where Ken the cat is waiting patiently, or another local adoption center. 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.
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. If you're a dog person, you might like Blackbear, a Hound 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.
