Do you want to add a new member to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! Amid the ongoing coronavirus 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 and sizes without a home throughout Texas — and many of them are located not too far from you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for an adorable new family member is at Texas Rustlers Guinea Pig Rescue, where Kevin Mccallister the guinea pig 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.
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.
