San Francisco Pets Who Need A Home: Sherman, Rambo, Bella & More

Do you want to add a new member to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter or organization. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, many animal shelters in San Francisco and environs are still working to fulfill adoptions.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home throughout California — and many of them are located not too far from you. In the search for a lovable new fur child, consider looking around at a local adoption center like Family Dog Rescue, where Chubb 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.

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. If you’re a dog person, you might like Sherman, a Chihuahua 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.
