Pet Adoption In The Cerritos-Artesia Area: New Pets Added This Week
Looking to add to your family and give back to the Cerritos-Artesia community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, shelters in the Cerritos-Artesia area have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting to be adopted.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home in California — many of whom are located within driving distance. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for your new companion is at Long Beach Animal Care Services, where Pack the dog is waiting patiently, or another local animal shelter. 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 cat person, meet Abner, a Turkish Van 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.
