Bringing home a furry friend is always an exciting adventure full of love, snuggles, and a chewed up shoe or two. City Editor Jess should know, she has two rescue pups — Roscoe + Reyna.
We’ve done some digging to highlight local animal shelters looking for some purrfect parents to bring a fur baby to their furever home. We found cats, kittens, dogs, puppies + small animals from five local organizations.
