See Latest Pets Available For Adoption In The Joliet Area

Looking to add a fluffy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family? Look no further than these Joliet animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many pound animals are still looking for their forever home and animal shelters 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 — and many of them are located not too far from you. On a search for a lovable new companion? Consider starting at a local facility like Paws Up 4 Rescue, where Allen 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.

Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We put together 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 Camo , a Plott Hound up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too.
