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 pet from a local shelter or organization! Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, animal shelters in and around Broomfield have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
In the search for an adorable new friend, consider beginning at a local animal shelter like Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue, where Peggy 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.
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 Woodlawn, a Labrador Retriever 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.
