Manalapan Pets Up For Adoption: Melanny, Jacquie, Dewey & More
Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the Manalapan community at the same time? Maybe it's the right time to adopt a pet! Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, facilities have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting to be adopted.
Across New Jersey, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many of them are located not too far from you. In the search for an adorable new companion, consider checking out a local animal shelter like Hope For Animals, where Daphne 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.
If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We create 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 Melanny, a Pomeranian 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.
