Meyerland Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Sydney, Laila, Alfred & More
Do you want to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! During the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, facilities in and around Meyerland have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting to be adopted.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home throughout Texas — and many of them are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for an adorable new friend is at Waiting Under The Willow Foundation Wuwf Rescue, where Alfred the dog 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 in permanent homes.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, 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 Sydney, a Labrador Retriever 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.
