Rockridge Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Hershey, Pumpkin, Cameo & More

Do you want to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter! Amid the coronavirus pandemic, many shelters are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through.

Across California, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many are located within driving distance. In the search for a lovable new friend, consider beginning at a local shelter like Berkeley Humane, where Benji 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, you might like Hershey, a Terrier 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.
