If you're on a search for a new fur child, consider checking out a local animal shelter like Last Chance Animal Rescue, where Vera 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 in appropriate homes. (Southampton Patch)
