Joliet Area Pets Waiting To Be Adopted: Lacey & More

Want to add a new member to your family? Look no further than these Joliet animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many shelters in the Joliet area are still working to fulfill adoptions.

Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — many of whom are located near you. On a search for a lovable new family member? Consider checking out a local adoption center like Hopeful Tails Animal Rescue, where Spritz 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.

With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled this week?s list of animals available for adoption near you. Whether you?re looking for cuddles or companionship, one of these animals could be the perfect fit for your family.
