Looking to add to your family and give back to the Naperville community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! Many shelter animals are still looking for their forever home and animal shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions.
Over 6 million pets are given to animal shelters each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all animals are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. If you’re on a search for a lovable new friend, consider checking out a local rescue agency like A Dot Do Dot Pt Pet Shelter, where Jaxie 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.
