Latest Pets To Go Up For Adoption In The Troy Area
Looking to add to your family and do something good for the Troy community at the same time? Consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and shelters still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets with families.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home throughout Michigan — and many are located near you. In the search for a new fur child, consider beginning at a local animal shelter like Michigan Humane Detroit Center For Animal Care, where Mr. Mackerel 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 create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, meet Hattie, a Spaniel mix up for adoption. 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.
