Adorable Adoptable Pets Of The Week In The Livingston Area
Want to add to your family and give back to the Livingston community at the same time? Maybe it's finally time to adopt a pet! Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, shelters in and around Livingston have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home in New Jersey — many of whom are located within driving distance. In the search for a new friend, consider checking out a local adoption center like Mt Pleasant Animal Shelter, where Dexter 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 appropriate homes.
Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. Whether you're a dog person, or if cats are more your thing, there are several great options available. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
