Athens Pets Who Need A Home
Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the Athens community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! During the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, animal shelters in the Athens area have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home across Georgia — and many of them are located near you. In the search for a lovable new family pet, consider checking out a 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.
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.
