Long Beach Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Spot, Rylee, Ginger & More
Do you want to add to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and facilities still working to place pets with families.
Across California, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — and many of them are located not too far from you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for an adorable new fur child is at Sparky And The Gang, where Ginger the dog is waiting patiently, or another local facility. 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 permanent homes.
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, meet Spot, a Black Labrador Retriever 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.
