Hillsborough Pets Who Need A Home: Diego, Fuzzy Bear, Jackie & More
Looking to add a new member to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and facilities still working to fulfill adoptions.
For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for an adorable new friend is at Capic Cat Adoption And Pet Information Center, where Jackie the cat 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.
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. If you’re a cat person, meet Diego, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or 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.
