Reply (Kiss For Kittens) Want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and facilities still working to place pets with families. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home across South Carolina — and many of them are located in your area. In the search for a lovable new companion, consider starting at a local animal shelter like Greenville Humane Society, where Abigail 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 in permanent homes.
