Want to add a new member to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Maybe it’s finally time to adopt a pet! Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many facilities in and around Mountain View are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through.
In the search for your new fur child, consider starting at a local facility like Mo4paws, where Henry 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. If you’re a cat person, meet Daisy, Zynnia, and Pyxie, a Tabby mix up for adoption. 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.
