Pet Adoption In The McKinney-Frisco Area: See The Latest Dogs, Cats & More
Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter or organization! Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and facilities still working to fulfill adoptions.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home in Texas — and many of them are located in your area. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for a new companion is at Collin County Animal Services, where Del the dog is waiting patiently, or another local adoption center. 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.
If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We create 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 Gracie, an Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler 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.
