Adorable Adoptable Pets Of The Week At Nyack-Piermont Area Shelters
Looking to add to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, animal shelters in the Nyack-Piermont area 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 York — and many are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for a new friend is at Paws Crossed Animal Rescue Inc, where Buttons the cat 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.
If you 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. If you're a dog person, you might like Teddy, a Chihuahua up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
