Do you want to add a new member to your family and do something good for the Woodland Hills community at the same time? Perhaps it’s finally time to adopt a pet! During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many shelters 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 without a home in California — many of whom are located within driving distance. In the search for an adorable new fur child, consider checking out a local adoption center like Pet Adoption Fund, where Tamera 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.
If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. Whether you’re a dog or cat person, there are several great options available. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
