Bushwick Pets Now Up For Adoption: Holly, Nuri, Bono & More
Do you want to add to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many shelters in and around Bushwick are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in forever homes.
In the search for a new friend, consider checking out a local shelter like Korean K9 Rescue, where Heewon 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.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a cat person, meet Holly, a Domestic Short Hair mix up for adoption. If dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
