Pet Adoption In The Burnsville Area: New Dogs, Cats Added This Week
Looking to add a new member to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Perhaps it's time to adopt a pet! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, many shelters in and around Burnsville are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in forever homes.
Across Minnesota, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — many of whom are located in your area. In the search for a new friend, consider beginning at a local adoption center like Heading Home K9 Rescue, where Saddler 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.
If you 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 Charlie, a Shepherd 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.
