Mountain View Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Barker, Pepper, Cream & More
Want to add a new member to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization! Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and facilities still working to place pets with families.
Across California, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — many of whom are located within driving distance. In the search for a new companion, consider beginning at a local adoption center like Shepheroes, where Lincoln 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 appropriate homes.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a cat person, meet Barker, a Russian Blue 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.
