Phoenix Pets Who Need A Home: Nala, Kiara, Void & More

Want to add a new member to your family and do something good for the Phoenix community at the same time? Maybe it’s time to adopt a pet! Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, many animal shelters in the Phoenix area are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home throughout Arizona — and many of them are located within driving distance. In the search for a lovable new companion, consider starting at a local adoption center like Az Ruff Roads Rescue, where Sylvester 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.

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 Nala, a Beagle 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.
