Holly Springs-Hickory Flat Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Sleeves, Penny, Tigger & More

Do you want to add to your family and do something good for the Holly Springs-Hickory Flat community at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many shelters in the Holly Springs-Hickory Flat area are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in forever homes.

In the search for your new companion, consider starting at a local shelter like Purr Nation Cat Alliance, where Layla 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.

Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, 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 SLEEVES, 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.
