Pet Adoption In The New Hyde Park Area: New Dogs, Cats Added This Week
Do you want to add a new member to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many shelters in and around New Hyde Park are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through.
For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for an adorable new family member is at Long Road Home, where Aurora the dog is waiting patiently, or another local 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.
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. If you're a dog person, meet Buddy, a Great Dane mix up for adoption. 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.
