Do you want to add to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! During the coronavirus pandemic, shelters in the Carmel area have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home throughout Indiana — and many of them are located near you. In the search for your new companion, consider looking around at a local shelter like Alliance For Responsible Pet Ownership Inc Arpo, where Lenny Sunshine the cat 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 put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. Whether you’re a dog person, or if cats are more your thing, there are several great options available. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
