Florissant Pets Who Need A Home: Tex, Perseus, Bruce & More

Looking to add a furry friend to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Consider adopting a pet from a local shelter. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, facilities in the Florissant area have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting to be adopted.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home across Missouri — many of whom are located in your area. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for a lovable new fur child is at St Louis County Animal Control, where Bruce the dog is waiting patiently, or another local shelter. 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 permanent 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 dog person, you might like Tex, a Terrier 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.
