Pet Adoption In The Manassas Area: See New Pets

Do you want to add a new member to your family and give back to the Manassas community at the same time? Perhaps it's the right time to adopt a pet! Amid the coronavirus pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to fulfill adoptions.

In the search for a new friend, consider starting at a local facility like Dewey Animals Inc, where Boys 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 create 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.
