Looking to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the Whitefish Bay community at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter! During the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and shelters still working to fulfill adoptions.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home across Wisconsin — many of whom are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for a lovable new family member is at Big Fluffy Dog Rescue, where Adela the dog is waiting patiently, or another local facility. 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, you might like Sissy, a Great Dane 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.
