Want to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, animal shelters in and around Mountain View have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted.
In the search for a lovable new fur child, consider beginning at a local facility like Doggie Protective Services, where Macaron 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.
If you 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. Whether you’re a dog or cat person, there are several great options available. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
