Latest Pets To Go Up For Adoption At Lake Forest Area Shelters
Do you want to add to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! During the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many facilities in Lake Forest and environs are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through.
In the search for an adorable new fur child, consider starting at a local shelter like The Pet Food Bank, where Ginger the dog 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.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a cat person, meet Garfield, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
