Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Perhaps it’s the right time to adopt a pet! Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many shelters in Ashburn and environs are still working to fulfill adoptions.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home across Virginia — and many of them are located in your area. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for your new friend is at Humane Society Of Loudoun County, where Fred the dog is waiting patiently, or another local shelter. 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.
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 cat person, meet Beckham, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
