Pet Adoption In The South Bend Area: See New Dogs, Cats
Looking to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Consider adopting a pet from a local shelter. Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to place pets with families.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home across Indiana — and many of them are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for your new fur child is at South Bend Animal Care And Control, where Honey 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 appropriate homes.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, meet Chanel, an American Bulldog 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.
