Adopt A Pet From Stamford Area Shelters: New Pets Added This Week
Looking to add to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization. During the coronavirus pandemic, animal shelters in and around Stamford have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting to be adopted.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home throughout Connecticut — and many are located within driving distance. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for your new fur child is at Lucky Dog Refuge, where Eloise the dog is waiting patiently, or another local adoption center. 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.
If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. Whether you're a dog or cat person, there are several great options available. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
