Pet Adoption In The Abington Area: See New Dogs, Cats
Want to add to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Perhaps it's the right time to adopt a pet! Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, shelters in and around Abington have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home across Pennsylvania — and many of them are located near you. In the search for a new friend, consider starting at a local facility like Whiskers Of Love Cat Rescue And Sanctuary, where Gliona 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 permanent homes.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we round up 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.
