Pet Adoption In The Manville Area: New Pets Added This Week
Do you want to add a new member to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. During the coronavirus pandemic, facilities in and around Manville have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home in New Jersey — and many are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for your new companion is at Somerset Regional Animal Shelter, where Cecelia the cat is waiting patiently, or another local facility. 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.
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 Poki, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or 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.
