Kensington Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Zeus, Tyson, Garen & More
Want to add 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. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to place pets with families.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home across Maryland — many of whom are located in your area. In the search for an adorable new friend, consider beginning at a local facility like Knine Rescue Inc, where June Carter Cash 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 in permanent homes.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, 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 Zeus, a Shepherd 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.
