Overland Park Pets Waiting To Be Adopted: Pipi, Hoyt, Odie & More
Looking to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Maybe it's the right time to adopt a pet! Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, facilities have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted.
Across Kansas, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many of them are located in your area. In the search for a lovable new friend, consider beginning at a local facility like Chain Of Hope, where Denny 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 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 Pipi, a Cattle Dog 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.
