Wauwatosa Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Malcolm, Athena, Calliope & More

Looking to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the Wauwatosa community at the same time? Perhaps it’s the right time to adopt a pet! Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many shelters in the Wauwatosa area are still working to fulfill adoptions.

For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for your new friend is at Jrs Pups N Stuff, where Calliope the dog is waiting patiently, or another local shelter. 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.

Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a dog person, meet Malcolm, a Rottweiler 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.
