Plainfield Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Thor, Clark, Barry & More

Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and make a positive impact on the Plainfield community at the same time? Maybe it’s the right time to adopt a pet! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, facilities in Plainfield and environs have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.

Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — and many of them are located in your area. In the search for your new fur child, consider looking around at a local facility like Starfish Animal Rescue, where Baabs 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 create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a dog person, meet Thor, a Black Mouth Cur mix up for adoption. 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.
