Want to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Maybe it’s time to adopt a pet! Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, shelters in Lake Ridge-Occoquan and environs have dogs, cats and other 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 in Virginia — many of whom are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for an adorable new family member is at A Cats Friend Inc, where Hans the cat is waiting patiently, or another local animal 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.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a cat person, meet Sigmund, a Russian Blue up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
