Looking to add a new member to your family and do something good for the Kirkwood community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, animal shelters in Kirkwood and environs have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting to be adopted.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home across Missouri — many of whom are located near you. In the search for an adorable new fur child, consider looking around at a local shelter like Stray Haven Feline Rescue Inc, where Mimeo the cat 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 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 Big Mac, a Hound 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.
